Thread: I need an advice

Hi everybody ,
can you guide me please what am i missing?
so i create a class called Lecturer ,this is part of the code(of the class)

private String name;
	private int numOfTimesPenFalls;
	private String favoriteIceCream;
 
	public Lecturer(String name,int NumOfTimesPenFalls,String FavoriteIceCream){
		this.name=name;
		setNumOfTimesPenFalls(numOfTimesPenFalls);
		setFavoriteIceCream(favoriteIceCream);}
 
public String toString(){
		return "Name: "+name+" number of times pen falls: "+numOfTimesPenFalls+" Favorite iceCream: "+favoriteIceCream;}

and in the class i also create set's and get's methods for penFalls and IceCream..

in the main i create an object = Lecturer lec1=new Lecturer("John",4,"Vanila");
and then i check if toString method word correct = System.out.println(lec1.toString());

and here is my problem ,the output is: Name: John number of times pen falls: 0 Favorite iceCream: null

My Question is why :number of times pen falls is '0' and not 4 ? and wht iceCream is 'null'.
what did i do wrong/miss?

The set methods aren't posted so I can't see what they are doing. The name variable is getting the value: "John" ok.

Thanks Norm i just mistaken by the value .didnt see it
