Hello, Starcraft!

Question about the task

Resolved

Hello, I feel this task should be really easy, but I can't seem to set a name for each object. This is what I've tried thus far, and it doesn't pass verification. Thank you in advance for your help!

package com.codegym.task.task03.task0307; /* Hello, StarCraft! */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { //write your code here Zerg zerg = new Zerg(); zerg.name = "Bobby"; Zerg zerg2 = new Zerg(); zerg.name = "Bill"; Zerg zerg3 = new Zerg(); zerg.name = "kyle"; Zerg zerg4 = new Zerg(); zerg.name = "joey"; Zerg zerg5 = new Zerg(); zerg.name = "Stackie"; Protoss protoss = new Protoss(); protoss.name = "Beth"; Protoss protoss2 = new Protoss(); protoss.name = "Morty"; Protoss protoss3 = new Protoss(); protoss.name = "Rick"; Terran terran = new Terran(); terran.name = "Jerry"; Terran terran1 = new Terran(); terran.name = "Summer"; Terran terran2 = new Terran(); terran.name = "Bird Person"; Terran terran3 = new Terran(); terran.name = "Principle"; } public static class Zerg { public static String name; } public static class Protoss { public String name; } public static class Terran { public String name; } }

zarg2.name = "Bill";

when you assign a name to an object, for example "zerg2", use the same name when assigning names: zerg2.name, and not: zerg.name. ;)

so, instead of

Zerg zerg = new Zerg();
zerg.name = "Bobby"
Zerg zerg2 = new Zerg();
zerg.name = "Bill";

It should be something like:

Zerg zerg = new Zerg();
zerg.name = "Bobby";
Zerg zerg2 = new Zerg();
zerg2.name = "Bill";

Updating my code to reflect this passed me for all conditions except for creat 5 zerg objects. I'll try to figure that out, I must've misspelled something. Thank you for the help! I remember that when creating an object, Zerg zerg = ..., the second term is the reference name, so, if i understand it right, you have to use the reference name when creating an object name, right?

Correct. "zerg" is an object that you create from the new Zerg(). "zerg2" is another object that is totally separate from "zerg". "zerg3" is yet another one separate from zerg and zerg2, and so on.. So if you assign a name to "zerg.name" 5 times, you just assign different names to one object only, so it would end up with the last name that you assign to it. The fact that you assign a name to object zerg right after creating the object zerg2 doesn't matter here: Zerg zerg2 = new Zerg(); <- create object zerg2 zerg.name = "Bill"; <- assign name to object zerg Is your code ok now??

The code is almost ok I think. This is what I have currently. The condition I am failing is to create 5 Zerg Objects and name each of them. That is where i've been stuck, as far as I can tell, I already did that. All other conditions have been met.

//write your code here

        Zerg zerg = new Zerg();
        zerg.name = "Bobby";
        Zerg zerg1 = new Zerg();
        zerg1.name = "Bill";
        Zerg zerg2 = new Zerg();
        zerg2.name = "kyle";
        Zerg zerg3 = new Zerg();
        zerg3.name = "joey";
        Zerg zerg4 = new Zerg();
        zerg4.name = "Stacie";


        Protoss protoss1 = new Protoss();
        protoss1.name = "Beth";
        Protoss protoss2 = new Protoss();
        protoss2.name = "Morty";
        Protoss protoss3 = new Protoss();
        protoss3.name = "Rick";


        Terran terran = new Terran();
        terran.name = "Jerry";
        Terran terran1 = new Terran();
        terran1.name = "Summer";
        Terran terran2 = new Terran();
        terran2.name = "Bird Person";
        Terran terran3 = new Terran();
        terran3.name = "Principle";

    }
    public static class Zerg {
        public static String name;
    }

    public static class Protoss {
        public String name;

    }

    public static class Terran {
        public String name;

    }
}

solution

try deleting "static" from Zerg class: "public static String name:"

Hey! That worked, thank you! I'll make a note to myself for debugging in the future, if using same logic for different things, and part of it doesn't work, look closely for any differences between them.
