Question about the task

Resolved

Can anybody help me, please? I cannot find the root cause of why my code is not being accepted. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Create the Cat class with five constructors:
- Name,
- Name, weight, age
- Name, age (standard weight)
- Weight, color (name, address, and age are unknown; the cat is homeless)
- Weight, color, address (someone else's pet)

The constructor's job is to make the object valid.
For example, if the weight is unknown, then you need to specify some average weight.
A cat can't weigh nothing.
The same applies to age and color. But there may or may not be a name (i.e. name might be null).
The same applies to the address (it might be null).

Requirements:

The Cat class must have a String variable name.
The Cat class must have an int variable age.
The Cat class must have an int variable weight.
The Cat class must have a String variable address.
The Cat class must have a String variable color.
The class must have a constructor that takes a name as an argument, but initializes all variables except the address.
The class must have a constructor that takes a name, weight, and age as arguments, and initializes all variables except the address.
The class must have a constructor that takes a name and age as arguments, and initializes all variables except the address.
The class must have a constructor that takes a weight and color as arguments, and initializes all variables except the name and address.
The class must have a constructor that takes a weight, color, and address as arguments, and initializes all variables except the name.

package com.codegym.task.task05.task0517; public class Cat { String name, color, address; int age, weight; public void constructor(String name) { this.name = name; color = "white"; age = 2; weight = 5; address = null; } public void constructor(String name, int weight, int age) { this.name = name; this.weight = weight; this.age = age; color = "red"; } public void constructor(String name, int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; weight = 5; color = "black"; } public void constructor(int weight, String color) { this.weight = weight; this.color = color; age = 2; } public void constructor(int weight, String color, String address) { this.weight = weight; this.color = color; this.address = address; age = 2; } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

remove all VOID from your CONSTRUCTOR. and Constructor >> Cat

Thanks, I just realized it, too + also changed the name of the constructor to "Cat" this way the issue has been solved. Thank you! I just need to understand a bit better the constructors I think. :D

solution

A constructor is a method with the same name as the class without any return statement. So that "void constructor" parts are wrong.
