Harsh Agarwal
Courses Plus Student 622 PointsWhat is the problem in the code ?
My code is as follows
//workSpace1.java
public class WhoIs{ private String mCharacterName="Harsh";
public String getName() { return mCharacterName; } }
//Example.java public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WhoIs name = new WhoIs();
System.out.println("My name is %s", name.getName());
}
}
The compiler is giving the error couldn't find the symbol symbol: class WhoIs location: class Example
