Sorry! Here's my code so far.....it's not that big so maybe you could help me

import java.util.*;
 
public class StudentInGradeBook {
    String lastName, firstName;
    int studentId;
    double courseworkGrade, examGrade, Grade;
    static double courseworkPercentage, examPercentage;
 
public StudentInGradeBook (int I, String L, String F) {
    studentId = I;
    lastName = L;
    firstName = F;
}
 
public StudentInGradeBook() {
    studentId = 0;
    lastName = "Not defined";
    firstName = "Not defined";
}
 
public void setCourseworkGrade (double courseworkGrade) {
    courseworkGrade = courseworkGrade;    
}
 
public void setExamGrade (double examGrade) {
    examGrade = examGrade;
}
 
public int getStudentId() {
    return studentId;
}
 
public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
}
 
public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
}
 
public double getCourseworkGrade() {
    return courseworkGrade;
}
 
public double getExamGrade() {
    return examGrade;
}
 
public double getGrade() {
    return Grade;
}
 
public double getCourseworkPercentage() {
    return courseworkPercentage;
}
 
public double getExamPercentage() {
    return examPercentage;
}
 
public double calcGrade;{
    Grade = (courseworkGrade * courseworkPercentage/100) + (examGrade * examPercentage/100);
}
 
    static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);   
 
public boolean setPercentages(int A, int B) {
    A = console.nextInt();
    B = console.nextInt();
 
if (A + B == 100) {
    return true;
}
else {
    return false;    
}
 
 
}
}

First, a question for you. Why are courseworkPercentage and examPercentage declared static? Do you really want them to have the same value for all instances of the class?
