Close. But you need a type for all your set methods, e.g., you have id for the parameter in setId, but you need int id

  public int setId(int id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

Also, for all your getters, the return type must be void as they return nothing:

  public void setId(int id) {
    this.id = id;
  }
