I have no idea how to fix this. Is this a bug or am I blind?

public class Contact {
private int id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String email;
public int getId() {

public String getFirstName() { // here you are returning a string therefore you should add "String"

}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
// here you are setting a variable to value and not returning anything. Therefore, you need to use "void"
this.firstName = firstName;

Main Class:
package com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.model;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Contacts contact = new Contacts();
contact.setFirstName("damien");
System.out.println(contact.getFirstName());
}
}
You cannot use String before the method name setfirstname as you are not returning anything. It should be void.
Your code:
public String setfirstName(String firstName){
this.firstName=firstName;
}
Fix:
public void setfirstName(String firstName){
this.firstName=firstName;
}
