error at line no 7

Question about the task

Where does a Person come from?

Java Syntax, Level 2, Lesson 2

Under discussion

public class person { what is error here i don't understand🙄

In the Person class, declare the following variables: String name, int age, int weight, int money.
In the main method, create a Person object and store a reference to it in the variable person.

Hint: Use the following construct to create a Person object and assign a reference to that object to the variable person:
VariableType variableName = new TypeOfObjectBeingCreated();

Requirements:

In the Person class, declare a String variable called name.
In the Person class, declare an int variable called age.
In the Person class, declare an int variable called weight.
In the Person class, declare an int variable called money.
In the main method, create a Person object and immediately assign a reference to it to the variable person.
Five variables must be declared.

package com.codegym.task.task02.task0202; /* Where does a Person come from? */ public class Person{ public static void main(String[] args) { String Person="Amya"; } public static class Person { String name; int age; int money; int weight; } }

Hi, Just follow the requirements on the left step-by-step. The Person class is already there: "public class Person" so just create the required variables under it: String, int, int, int with the corresponding names. There is "public static class Person". You don't need this. Feel free to delete the whole block with all the declared variables. Finally, in the main() method, you need to declare a Person variable rather than a String. Delete this line and declare a Person: Person person1 = new Person(); From this point on, and this is not part of the task, you can give name to person1 if you want using: person1.name = "Amya"; Hope this helps :)

You didn't create a person object but a string variable in place of where the Person object should go, reference the page about objects and how to create them. line 9 should look something more like this Person person = new Person.

Hey there . I've just starting learning , so my reply might probably be not correct solution to this issue , but oh well... At line 12 you have declared a Person class and at line 9 you need to create an object that refers to the class declared at line 12 (Person). take a look at the hint in conditions VariableType variableName = new TypeOfObjectBeingCreated(); Hope this is useful for you )
