    Default Method in class cannot be applied to given types

    Im trying to make a program that takes taxpayer information and their tax dues.
    The tax due depends on income and marital status (single, married, or divorced and 0-20000, 20001-50000, or 50000+), i can probably figure this out later but im pretty stumped right now.

    this is my full error message:

    Method setTaxes in class TaxPayer content be applied to given types:
    required: double, char, double
    found: double
    reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length


    Did i mess anything up?



    I wrote //here over the lines of code i need help with

    /*
    Week 1 Assignment
    TaxPayer
    */
    public class TaxPayer {
     
       private int social;
       private String lastName;
       private String firstName;

       private String address2;

       private String state;
       private int zip;
       private double income;
       private char marital;
     
       //here
       private double taxes;
     
       public TaxPayer(int socialIn, String lastNmIn, String firstNmIn, String add1In, String add2In, String cityIn, String stateIn, int zipIn, double incomeIn, char maritalIn, 
    //Here
    double taxesIn )

    Please copy the full text of any error messages and paste it here.

    The args passed to a method must match those that are in the method's declaration.


    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
