Under discussion

package com.codegym.task.task05.task0511; /* Create a Dog class */ public class Dog { String name = "Puppy"; int height = 6; String color = "green"; public void Initialize(String name) { this.name = name; } public void Initialize(String name,int height) { this.name = name; this.height = height; } public void Initialize(String name,int height,String color) { this.name = name; this.height = height; this.color = color; } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

Create a Dog class with three initializers:
- Name
- Name, height
- Name, height, color

Requirements:

The program must not read data from the keyboard.
The Dog class must have a String variable name.
The Dog class must have an int variable height.
The Dog class must have a String variable color.
The class must have an initialize method that takes a name as an argument and initializes the corresponding instance variable.
The class must have an initialize method that takes a name and height as arguments, and initializes the corresponding instance variables.
The class must have an initialize method that takes a name, height, and color as arguments, and initializes the corresponding instance variables.

When creating class attributes, you only need to declare the string. Don't give it value just yet; you can do that once it is initialized. In your code, lines 9 to 11 declare attributes like this:

    String name = "Puppy";
    int height = 6;
    String color = "green";

They should be declared like this:

String name;
int height;
String color;

Use small letter i in initialize method.

Try this:

String name;
int height;
String color;


public void Initialize(String name)
{
   Initialize(name,6,"green");
}
public void Initialize(String name,int height)
{
   Initialize(name, height, "green");
}
public void Initialize(String name,int height,String color)
{
    this.name = name;
    this.height = height;
    this.color = color;
}
