    Default Object as an attribute and constrcutor

    I am not sure how to delete this thread, but I essentially posted an answer to an assignment and that wasn't my intent.

    I can't fill in the "engine" argument.

    Using the code I have above it requires three arguments the make, model and Engine. Engine is an object not a string or a double or anything like that so I can't type anything in that area (the last spot after the comma in Accord)
    Car car1= new Car("Honda","Accord","");
    I'm not getting an error code, other than "expression expected"

    The assignment says: Note engine is an object of the Engine class.
    Where is the definition for the Engine class?
    Why does the code define a variable: Engine as an instance of the Objects class. The code should NOT be using the Objects class.
    The variable engine(Not Engine) should be defined as an Engine object, not an Objects object.

    I think I have it fixed now.
    Good.

    Please be sure to use proper code tags when posting code. I added []s to your attempt at tags.
