I think I hava done everything right. Still I can't get through the compiler. So.. What is problem in my code?
public class Forum {
private String topic;
// TODO: add a constructor that accepts a topic and sets the private field topic
String topic;
public Forum(String topic){
this.topic = topic;
}
public String getTopic() {
return topic;
}
/* Uncomment this when you are prompted to do so
public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
System.out.printf("A new post in %s topic from %s %s about %s is available",
topic,
post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
post.getTitle()
);
}
*/
}
public class User {
// TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName
private firstName;
private lastName;
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
// TODO: set and add the private fields
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
// TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName
public String getters(){
return (firstName + lastName);

42,386 PointsHi Zhoubing, the properties need to have the type specified, that is why you are getting that error. Also, instead of having the method getters()
you should have a getter
method for each of the properties specified.
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
// constructor
public String getFirstName() {
return this.firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return this.lastName;
}
