Question about the task

You can't buy friends

Java Syntax, Level 5, Lesson 9

Under discussion

I keep on getting this error and I am wondering how to fix it. Can someone help, please?

Create a Friend class with three constructors:
- Name
- Name, age
- Name, age, sex

Requirements:

The Friend class must have a String variable name.
The Friend class must have an int variable age.
The Friend class must have a char variable sex.
The class must have a constructor that takes a name as an argument and initializes the corresponding instance variable.
The class must have a constructor that takes a name and age as arguments, and initializes the corresponding instance variables.
The class must have a constructor that takes a name, age, and sex as arguments, and initializes the corresponding instance variables.

package com.codegym.task.task05.task0516; /* You can't buy friends */ public class Friend { //write your code here String name; int age; char sex; public void Friend(String name) { name = "Jeff"; } public void Friend(String name, int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } public void Friend(String name, int age, char sex) { this.name = name; this.age = age; this.sex = sex; } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

It's construction implement like this:- String name; int age; char sex; public Friend(String name) { this.name = name; } public Friend(String name, int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } public Friend(String name, int age, char sex) { this.name = name; this.age = age; this.sex = sex; }

#1 It asks for constructors, but this code has methods. I would google what the difference between the two are. #2 In the first one, it should not be set to "Jeff", but be set to the local variable name. I think you may have added that in trying to figure out why you failed.

Thanks for the help. I solved it now. public class Friend { //write your code here String name; int age; char sex; public Friend(String name) { this.name = name; } public Friend(String name, int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } public Friend(String name, int age, char sex) { this.name = name; this.age = age; this.sex = sex; } public static void main(String[] args) { Friend friend = new Friend("Jeff", 6, 'x'); } }
