Cat code won't compile

hi everybody, why I can't assign conversion to integer before doing the the object? int age = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine()); So I mean, for example new Cat(name, age....... ;)

Using Scanner is more effective. It can read int directly without converting them from string to int.

make this change to line 15 and it should work if (name.isEmpty()|| name.equals(" ")) break;

My code compiles in IntelliJ, then I copy paste it here, and won't compile... How is that possible???

Log was right, for some reason you have to put another line in the input box for it to work. Gotta say, I hated this one with a fiery passion. I need a fregin break after this one.

After digging around the help files I discovered that my code originally didn't work because I needed to add a blank line at the end of the pre-written input data. Wasn't expecting to have to mess around with the Input box

They need to fix this one... i was able to pass with a nullpointerexception.

If you find the requirements a bit confusing, then all you have to do is FIX existing code and add what is needed so if you enter name(string), age(int), weight(int), tail (int) it creates an object with those characteristics (variables). If name is empty, program stops and prints existing data; if no data....then it prints nothing(in case first name is empty, program breaks and prints nothing).

Thanks...all ok

who know why isEmpty not work? Thanks
