Cannot figure out what I am doing wrong
This should be fairly easy for someone who is not exhausted as I am.
Here is my code:
public class Hw2Pr3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Dog dog1 = new Dog();
dog1.setWeight("20 LB");
System.out.println("dog1's
Dog dog2 = new Dog();
dog2.setWeight("30 LB");
System.out.println("dog2's
}
}
class Dog {
private String weight;
public void setWeight(theWeight) {
weight = new String(theWeight);
}
public String getWeight(){
return weight;
}
}
It's giving me 2 errors:

public void setWeight(theWeight) {

You forgot the type of the parameter
I think String since it is called like
dog1.setWeight("20 LB");
dog1.setWeight("20 LB");
>>
public String getWeight(){
return weight;

should be
public String getWeight(){
return weight;
}
public String getWeight(){
return weight;

should be
public String getWeight(){
return weight;
}
>>I think String
OK - but the key point is - you need a parameter *type*

<--- That's exactly what I have.
Problem was I was missing the 'String' in public void setWeight(theWeight) {
Thanks guys again, you are a big help.
