7,803 PointsProblems with accessing fields
Here is my code:
The code inside the StudentResults.java file
public class StudentResults {
public static String Full_Name;
private String Exam_Name;
private int Exam_Score;
private int Exam_Grade;
StudentResults(String fullName, String examName, int score, int grade) {
Full_name = "Ibrahim";
Exam_Name = "Matte_Tentamen";
Exam_Score = "100%";
Exam_Grade = "6";
}
}
The code inside the example.java file
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("Hi my first name is ibrahim, and i love programming in java");
StudentResults sIbrahim = new StudentResults();
System.out.println("Thise are the default values of the StudentResults object, %s", sIbrahim.Full_Name);
}
}
Here is what i get when i try to run the code inside the Example.java file.
Example.java:7: error: cannot find symbol
StudentResults sIbrahim = new StudentResults();
^
symbol: class StudentResults
location: class Example
Example.java:7: error: cannot find symbol
StudentResults sIbrahim = new StudentResults();
^
symbol: class StudentResults
location: class Example

I see some errors:
public class StudentResults {
public static String Full_Name; // variable names should start with lower case characters
private String Exam_Name;
private int Exam_Score;
private int Exam_Grade;
// dont forget to add a "public" access level modifier
// constructors are public and have no return type (no void too)
StudentResults(String fullName, String examName, int score, int grade) { //public StudentResults (....)
Full_name = "Ibrahim"; // change it to Full_name = fullName;
Exam_Name = "Matte_Tentamen"; // change it to Exam_Name = examName
Exam_Score = "100%"; // Exam_Score =score //
Exam_Grade = "6"; // Exam_Score = grade";
}
}
When you create the object of the StudentResults inside Example you will need to define the information of your student as constructor parameters and not inside the construcktor:
StudentResults sIbrahim = new StudentResults("Ibrahim", "Matte_Tentamen", 100, 6);
So inside Example class the code could look like this:
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("Hi my first name is ibrahim, and i love programming in java");
StudentResults sIbrahim = new StudentResults("Ibrahim", "Matte_Tentamen", 100, 6);
// you providing constructor parameters when you create the object
// so different objects can have different parameters
// same as different students with diferent informations and grades and names ....
System.out.printf("Thise are the default values of the StudentResults object, %s", sIbrahim.Full_Name);
// changed println to print to use the string formatter %s
}
}
Let me know if this does the trick :)
