says i have not initialized a Cat() in the created static block of Solution()

Question about the task

Under discussion

However I have and subsequently gotten that cats name to display however that two does not register. Though if its not registering my cat as initialized it makes sense it wouldnt like its name. explain to me why my cat does not count please. (I have looked at the solution so I see what it wants not why it wants it.)

1. In the Solution class, create a Cat class with a public String field name.
2. In the static block, create a Cat object and assign it to the variable cat (don't forget to initialize the field name).
3. In the Cat class, don't create constructors with parameters.
4. In the static block, display the created cat's name on the screen.

Requirements:

The Cat class must be inside the Solution class and must be public and static.
The Cat class must have a public String field name.
The variable cat must be initialized in the static block of the Solution class.
In the static block, the created cat's name should be displayed on the screen.
The Cat class must not have constructors with parameters.

package com.codegym.task.task15.task1518; /* Static modifiers and kittens */ public class Solution { public Cat cat; public static void main(String[] args) { } public static class Cat{ public String name; } static { Cat cat = new Cat(); cat.name = "Mittens"; System.out.println(cat.name); } }

"In the static block, create a Cat object and assign it to the variable cat (don't forget to initialize the field name)." In the above code line 21 creates a Cat variable and a Cat object. The condition I have in bold says that the code should only create a Cat object and assign it the the variable cat (which is already on line 9). The starting code has that line as:

public static Cat cat;

You are going to need to change that line back to the way it was; then initialize it in the static block and print the name to pass this task.
