This code is for comparing two numeric arrays but has a few errors.
Please help?
Errors:
1.Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method func(int[], int[], int) from the type 
2.This method must return a result of type boolean

What I have tried:

package packageMe2;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Tamrin2 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);

		int size;
		System.out.print("Please Enter array1 size : ");
		size = reader.nextInt();

		int[] arr = new int[size];
		System.out.println("Enter array1 elements : ");
		for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
			arr[i] = reader.nextInt();
		}
		int size2;
		System.out.print("Please Enter array2 size : ");
		size2 = reader.nextInt();

		int[] arr2 = new int[size2];
		System.out.println("Enter array2 elements : ");
		for (int j = 0; j < size2; j++) {
			arr2[j] = reader.nextInt();
		}
		boolean flag;
		if (size != size2) {
			System.out.println("Are not equal");
		} else {
			flag = func(arr, arr2, size);
			System.out.println(flag); } 
	}
	boolean func(int arr[], int arr2[], int size) {
		int sizeArr = size;
		for (int k = 0; k < sizeArr; k++) {
			if (arr[k] == arr2[k]) {
				return true;
			} else {
				return false;
			}
		}

	}
}

You cannot call an instance function without an instance reference. In this case just make it static. You also need to return a value at the end of the function. It would also be better to test every element of the arrays:

Java

static boolean func(int arr[], int arr2[], int size) {
    boolean array_equal = true; // assume the arrays are equal
    int sizeArr = size;
    for (int k = 0; k < sizeArr; k++) {
        if (arr[k] != arr2[k]) {
            array_equal = false; // found unequal valuse, so set the flag
            break;               // and break out of the loop
        }
    }
    return array_equal;
}
