This age doesn't work for me…

Locked

Sometimes we all want to change our age. First, they don't want to sell you cigarettes or beer. Then your hair starts thinning and your back aches! A programmer may not have control over time, but he or she has total control over data in programs. In this task, we correct an error so that a Person object's age variable receives a different value.

key line in the lecture "The local variable masks the instance variable". so you need to use the keyword this to refer to the age instance variable

- age shouldn't be the parameter in the adjustAge method - age belongs t the person class - so just change the parameter name of the adjudge method - it should work - hope this helps

unfortunately, not in this case One of the requirement is to force the parameter to be named "age"

Yes it is the requirement, however generally speaking I think it is better to give unique variable names as Edddieg suggested to exclude the unnecessary code debugging...

easy, you just need to understand the age belongs to where, the class or the method and how to change it.

It's because you've reached the end of the translated content. In order to proceed, you will need to continue on the English language version of the course. However, you will also need a subscription.

Two key lecture points to remember in order to resolve this: - An instance variable can't be accessed from static methods - When you declare a variable inside a method, that variable exist only in that method and takes precedence even if there's an instance variable with that name.
