Not able to pass 5th test case

Question about the task

Resolved

public class Cat {
    private String fullName;

    public String setName(String firstName, String lastName) {
        String fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;
        //write your code here
        this.fullName = fullName;
        return this.fullName;

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Cat cat = new Cat();
        String firstName = "ami";
        String lastName = "go";
        System.out.println(cat.setName(firstName,lastName));
    }
}

Finish writing the code of the setName method so that it sets the value of private String fullName to the value of the local String variable fullName.

Requirements:

The Cat class must contain only one fullName variable.
The variable fullName must be a String and have a private access modifier.
The Cat class must have only two methods: setName and main.
The setName method must have a local variable fullName.
The Cat class's setName method must set the value of the global private String variable fullName equal to the local variable fullName.

package com.codegym.task.task04.task0406; /* Name register */ public class Cat { private String fullName; public String setName(String firstName, String lastName) { String fullName = firstName + " " + lastName; //write your code here this.fullName = fullName; return this.fullName; } public static void main(String[] args) { Cat cat = new Cat(); String firstName = "ami"; String lastName = "go"; System.out.println(cat.setName(firstName,lastName)); } }

You changed the original code from:

public void setName(String firstName, String lastName)

public String setName(String firstName, String lastName)

You need to fix this, either change it back or reset the problem and do not change that line. Once you fix this then get rid of the return statement because 'void' means there is no return value.

That I did because I am getting another error for void return type.

'void' type not allowed here: Cat.java, line: 23, column: 39

for

public class Cat {
    private String fullName;

    public void setName(String firstName, String lastName) {
        String fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;
        //write your code here
        this.fullName = fullName;


    }

        String lastName = "go";
        System.out.println(cat.setName(firstName,lastName));
    }
}

You were getting that error because the line:

System.out.println(cat.setName(firstName,lastName));

The sys.out will output a String, but setName is void and doesn't return a String. You made it return a String but that was in violation of the task requirements. Remember not to do more than what the task asks you to do because everything that you add 'extra' has a greater and greater chance of not validating.

I was getting error "'void' type not allowed here: Cat.java, line: 23, column: 39" that is why I was just trying to make it return type.
