Thread: How to call string in another class in java?

Hi to all..
i ask for a little help thanks
here's my problem, i need to call two different strings in the other class and provide any value for it. here's what ive done so far

Here's my first class

public class Student
{
String Name,Course;
 
public void setNme(String inputName)
{
Name=inputName;
}
public String getNme()
{
return Name;
}
 
public void setCrs(String inputCourse)
{
Course=inputCourse;
}
public String getCrs()
{
return Course;
}
}

Here's the other one that call the Student Class

public class Outcome
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
 
Student a = new Student();
a.setNme("charles");
System.out.print(a.getNme());
 
Student b = new Student();
b.setCrs("\ncB.S. Computer Science");
System.out.print(b.getCrs());
}
}

I can call the first String which is Name but the second one which is Course i always get an error. any help would do but please dont use advance scripts, just the basic only thanks.

Here's the error message i get.

Hello tazjaime and welcome to the forums

I just compiled the code you posted above and it all works fine?

I get the output:

charles
cB.S. Computer Science

When is this error generated?

i dont know why i got that error but when i copy paste it in a new notepad it works but here's my other problem...

when using "int"

Java Code

public class Outcome
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Student a = new Student();
a.setNme("\nCharles Jaime");
System.out.print(a.getNme());
 
Student b = new Student();
b.setStudNum("\n0510180");
System.out.print(b.getStudNum());
 
Student c = new Student();
c.setCrs("\nB.S. Computer Science");
System.out.print(c.getCrs());
}
}

Java Code

public class Student
{
String Name,Course;
int StudentNumber;
 
    public void setNme(String inputName)
    {
    Name=inputName;
    }
    public String getNme()
    {
    return Name;
    }
 
    public void setStudNum(int inputStudentNumber)
    {
    StudentNumber=inputStudentNumber;
    }
    public int getStudNum()
    {
    return StudentNumber;
    }
 
    public void setCrs(String inputCourse)
    {
    Course=inputCourse;
    }
    public String getCrs()
    {
    return Course;
    }
 
}

Here's the error when using int or double

The value 0510180 is too long to be an Integer.

I suggest handling it as a String like this:

public class Student {
    String Name, Course;
    String StudentNumber;
 
    public void setNme(String inputName) {
        Name = inputName;
    }
 
    public String getNme() {
        return Name;
    }
 
    public void setStudNum(String inputStudentNumber) {
        StudentNumber = inputStudentNumber;
    }
 
    public String getStudNum() {
        return StudentNumber;
    }
 
    public void setCrs(String inputCourse) {
        Course = inputCourse;
    }
 
    public String getCrs() {
        return Course;
    }
 
}

public class Outcome {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Student a = new Student();
        a.setNme("Charles Jaime");
        System.out.println(a.getNme());
 
        Student b = new Student();
        b.setStudNum("0510180");
        System.out.println(b.getStudNum());
 
        Student c = new Student();
        c.setCrs("B.S. Computer Science");
        System.out.println(c.getCrs());
    }
}

Also, I personally would use:

System.out.print[B]ln[/B](b.getStudNum());

Instead of including the new line char in the String.

b.setStudNum("[B]\n[/B]0510180");
