this is what I have written so far
It's
System and not system. Java code is case-sensitive.also check code format
should be
etc
It's not clear what you are supposed to do from the assignment.
you don't have to do anything.
It is clear that this one is just to make you comfortable and familiar with designing a class and accessing it's properties and methods.
I've stuck into such things so much.
My best advice is keep going, see the bigger picture. Don't just pick small things and sit down stressed out that you don't understand it all.
all you have to do is, feel free to declare variable (which are used to mark/describe a property of a class and hence a field for an instance of that class) and functions (which are used to mark/describe a method which in simple works means behavior of an object/instance of your class).

This assignment teaches you about getters, setters, properties, methods, constructurs, and how you access them from an instance.
I may have repeated some sentences in different ways, sorry for that, that's the best I could explain. and IMHO that's all this assignment is about.
Off-topic: I personally never understood why properties like name is made private and then you provide accessibility for name too. Why not just make name public. but I guess that has meaningful reasons such as semantics, and all. idk.
its not only semantics
its also security
please explain. if you make name private but then you provide a public getName and setName, then I might be blind to see the point tbh.
simplest example
you have a field named age
in some class
and you have a getter and setter and the field is private
and you wanna change the fields value to something
in the setter you add a validation so that the age cant be below 0
whereas if the field was public you could set it to -9999999
and skip the validation
another case is when you dont want the field to be changed at all
so you just use a getter and dont make a setter
Also you cannot reference fields with a Method Reference Expression. While it is perfectly fine to write
stream().map(Person::getName) you'd always have to write a lambda with a field: stream().map(p -> p.name).💤 Post marked as dormant
