6,958 PointsTwo things : The first letter of attributes shouldn't be uppercase. And, getters should be named for example getFirstName() instead of getterFirstName() :
public class User {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
}
