Thread: Beginner assignment - constructor issue / error

I've got an assignment where I need to write a class that holds 3 test scores. The class constructor is suppose to accept 3 test scores and assign them to test score fields.

I'm starting off slow, and began with only writing 1 int for the class constructor. I've written the driver class where it'd only accept 1 also and it works fine.

The issue I'm running into is adding in more to the constructor.

Here's my code that works with one score.

//CLASS
 
public class TestGrade2
{
   private int score;
 
 
 
 
 
   public TestGrade2(int s)
   {
     score = s;
 
   }
 
 
 
   public int getScore()
   {
      return score;
   }
 
 
 
 
 
   public char getLetterGrade()
   {
      char grade;
 
      if (score < 60)
         grade = 'F';
      else if (score < 70)
         grade = 'D';
      else if (score < 80)
         grade = 'C';
  else if (score < 90)
         grade = 'B';
      else
         grade = 'A';
 
      return grade;
   }
 
 
 
 
}

//DRIVER
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class TestGrade2Demo
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
  int testScore;
 
 
  char letterGrade;
 
 
 
  Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
 
  //first test
  System.out.print("Enter your first numeric grade");
  testScore = keyboard.nextInt();
 
 
 
 
  TestGrade2 test = new TestGrade2(testScore);
 
  letterGrade = test.getLetterGrade();
 
 
  System.out.print("Your first grade is a " + test.getLetterGrade());
 
  }
}

Works fine.

Now I need to add another test score into here.

//Class
public class TestGrade2
{
   private int score;
   private int score2;
 
 
 
 
   public TestGrade2(int s, int s2)
   {
     score = s;
     score2 = s2;
   }
 
 
 
   public int getScore()
   {
      return score;
   }
 
   public int getScore2()
   {
     return score2;
   }
 
 
 
 
   public char getLetterGrade()
   {
      char grade;
 
      if (score < 60)
         grade = 'F';
      else if (score < 70)
         grade = 'D';
      else if (score < 80)
         grade = 'C';
  else if (score < 90)
         grade = 'B';
      else
         grade = 'A';
 
      return grade;
   }
 
      public char getLetterGrade2()
   {
      char grade2;
 
      if (score2 < 60)
         grade2 = 'F';
      else if (score2 < 70)
         grade2 = 'D';
      else if (score2 < 80)
         grade2 = 'C';
  else if (score2 < 90)
         grade2 = 'B';
      else
         grade2 = 'A';
 
      return grade2;
   }
 
 
}

//DRIVER
 
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class TestGrade2Demo
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
  int testScore;
  int testScore2;
 
  char letterGrade;
  char letterGrade2;
 
 
  Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
 
  //first test
  System.out.print("Enter your first numeric grade");
  testScore = keyboard.nextInt();
 
  //second test
  System.out.println("Enter your second numeric grade");
  testScore2 = keyboard.nextInt();
 
 
  TestGrade2 test = new TestGrade2(testScore, testScore2);
 
  letterGrade = test.getLetterGrade();
  letterGrade2 = test.getLetterGrade2();
 
  System.out.print("Your first grade is a " + test.getLetterGrade());
  System.out.print("Your second grade is a " + test.getLetterGrade2());
 
 
 
  }
}

Second time around, compiles fine. Runs fine. Allows me to input both test scores. then - BOOM.

Could someone help me here? What am I doing wrong?

I'm actually having a hard time pin-pointing whats wrong with your code myself. It looks fine to me, but you may want to add a .nextLine() command in between the two commands that get the users integers. This clears the buffer of any possible input and may help you. Also, while not completely related to your question, I noticed that in the last lines of your main method you have this code:

System.out.print("Your first grade is a " + test.getLetterGrade());
  System.out.print("Your second grade is a " + test.getLetterGrade2());

calling the .getLetterGrade() methods here is redundant, because you already called them above this code and assigned their return values to the two letterGrade variables. Calling the methods multiple times adds to the systems memory, and could potentially slow your program down. Instead of this, you should add your letterGrade variables to the end of your println() statements.
