I'm working on a project that i can't seem to get done. when i try to write my constructors the compiler tells me it can't find the symbol. any idea why? here's the code.
public class Student
{
String name= "XXX XXXX";
String studentid="XXXXXXXX";
String major="XXXX";
String studenttype="Invalid student type";
int numberofhourscompleted=0;
int currenthoursenrolled= 0;
int completedhours=0;
String classification;
public Student(String nam, String sid, String sMajor, String sType, int hoursCompleted, int hoursEnrolled, int completedHours, String type)
{
name= nam;
studentid=sid;
major=sMajor;
studenttype=sType;
numberofhourscompleted=hoursCompleted;
currenthoursenrolled=hoursEnrolled;
completedhours=completedHours;
classification=type;
}
Student student1 = new Student();
{
}
Student student2 = new Student();
{
}
public void setName(String name)
{
}
public String getName()
{
return name;
}
public void setStudentId(String studentid)
{
}
public String getStudentId()
{
return studentid;
}
public void setMajor(String major)
{
}
public String getMajor()
{
String major="XXXX";
if (major=="CSCI")
major="CSCI";
else if (major=="MATH")
major="MATH";
else if (major=="NURS")
major="NURS";
else //invalid type
major="XXXX";
return major;
}
public void setNumberOfHoursCompleted(int numberofhourscompleted)
{
}
public int getNumberOfHoursCompleted()
{
return numberofhourscompleted;
}
public void setCurrentHoursEnrolled(int currenthoursenrolled)
{
}
public int getCurrentHoursEnrolled()
{
int currenthoursenrolled=0;
return currenthoursenrolled;
}
public void addCompletedHours()
{
int completedhours;
completedhours=numberofhourscompleted + currenthoursenrolled;
}
public void setStudentType(String studenttype)
{
}
public String getStudentType()
{
String studenttype= "X";
if (studenttype=="U")
studenttype="Undergraduate";
else if (studenttype=="G")
studenttype="Graduate Student";
else
studenttype="Invalid student type";
return studenttype;
}
public void setClassification(String classification)
{
}
public String getClassification()
{
String classification;
if (completedhours<30)
classification="Freshman";
else if (completedhours>30)
classification="Sophomore";
else if (completedhours>60)
classification="Junior";
else if (completedhours>90)
classification="Senior";
else if (studenttype=="G")
classification="Graduate Student";
else
classification="Invalid student type";
return classification;
}
public String getStudentRecord(String studentrecord)
{
studentrecord=("********** creating student with " + name + "constructor **********")
+("Student information for" + name)
+("-----------------------------")
+("Id: " + getStudentId())
+("Major: " + getMajor())
+("Classification: " + getStudentType())
+("Current Hours: " + getCurrentHoursEnrolled())
+("Completed Hours: " + getNumberOfHoursCompleted())
+("Classification: " + getClassification());
return studentrecord;
}
}
it's not totally done. i just can't figure out the error.
