Thread: Java Class Help

I was wondering how do I go about adding this to my code?

Now, create public accessor & private modifier methods (gets & sets) in the “Employee.java” file for each of the 4 data
members. Use the following as the error-checking criteria in your modifier (“set”) methods:
- First Name & Last Name: Must have size greater than zero, and size less than or equal to 20.
- Employee Id: Value must be greater than or equal to 1000, but less than or equal to 9999.
- Employee Rate: Must be greater than zero.

public class Employee {
 
public String firstName;
public String lastName;
private double hourlyRate;
private int employeeId;
 
 
private Employee(String first, String last, double hourly, int employeeID) 
{
firstName = first;
lastName = last;
hourlyRate = hourly;
employeeId = employeeID;
}
 
 
public static void main(String[] args)
{
 
Employee e = new Employee("John", "Doe", 14.79, 1597);
 
System.out.println("Name: " + e.firstName + " " + e.lastName);
System.out.println("Hourly: $" + e.hourlyRate);
System.out.println("EmployeeID: " + e.employeeId);
System.out.println(); // This will simply create a blank line
 
e = new Employee("Sarah", " Dao", 17.55, 2574);
 
System.out.println("Name: " + e.firstName + " " + e.lastName);
System.out.println("Hourly: $" + e.hourlyRate);
System.out.println("EmployeeID: " + e.employeeId);
System.out.println(); 
}}

Please don't post the same topic in multiple places in the forum. It's not helpful.

The smart-a answer to your question is "open your editor and follow the instructions." Since that's obvious, or should be, instead I'll ask you, What don't you understand about the very specific instructions you've been given?
