Hi, I need help with a code for class, and a tester for it
so far the error messages continue

14 errors
and here's my code:

public class Student
{
 
	private String fullName;
	private int totalQuizScore;
	private int numQuizzesTaken;
 
	public Student(String lname, int qScore, int qTaken) {
	this.fullName = Name;
	this.totalQuizScore = qScore;
	this.numQuizzesTaken = qTaken;
	}
	public double qScore () {
	return (double) totalQuizScore / (int) numQuizzesTaken;
	}
	public int qTaken;
	return (int); numQuizzesTaken;
	}
	public string toString() {
	return getFullName() + ", " + getTotalQuizScore() + ", " + getNumQuizzesTaken();
 
	/*getters*/
	public string getFullName; 
	{
	return fullName;
	}
	public double getTotalQuizScore; 
	{
	return totalQuizScore;
	}
	public int getNumQuizzesTaken; 
	{
	return numQuizzesTaken;
	}
 
	System.out.println("Ben Scanlan";
 
}

What do I need to do to fix and write a tester for this. Please answer soon, it's due Sunday
Thank you so much

Do you mind if you actually post the assignment.

Thanks

Have a close look at this line:

return (int); numQuizzesTaken;

See anything out of place?

As an aside, why are you casting an int to an int? Isn't that bit redundant and repetitive?

Your coding is a little hard to read.... I see your constructor and accessor methods, but where are you mutator methods?
this makes no sense:
public double qScore () {
return (double) totalQuizScore / (int) numQuizzesTaken;
}
public int qTaken;
return (int); numQuizzesTaken;
}
in terms of data types I'm talking about and (double), (int) is not needed...

Please use [code=java] before your code and [/code] after your code to keep the formatting and make pretty colors.



What is Name supposed to be in the constructor? Perhaps you meant lname?


In the line:
return (double) totalQuizScore / (int) numQuizzesTaken;
...specifying (double) is useful in getting the correct average but the use of (int) on an int is unnecessary


In the line:
public int qTaken;
...the method's syntax is incorrect. Here is a basic template for a method followed by an example you can look at. 4 of the methods in the posted code have the same problem.

accessModifier returnType methodName(param1Type param1Name, param2Type param2Name) {
   param1Name someWorkWith param2Name
   return valueOfReturnType;
}

/** Returns the result of multiplying the factors, a fairly useless method commonly used as an example.
*@param factor1 The first factor to be multiplied.
*@param factor2 The second factor to be multiplied.
*@return The result of multiplying factor1 and factor2.
*/
public static int productOf(int factor1, int factor2) {
   int result = 0;
   result = factor1 * factor2;
   return result;
   //return factor1 * factor2;  //shorthand version
}

string is not the same as String in java source code.



There is a closing bracket missing from the end of the toString method



The line:
System.out.println("Ben Scanlan";
...seems to be missing something
