this is my first assignment, how to get input from scanner to my private viarable string in another class?
- Create Author class as the description mentioned below.(i already done it)
- Create a test class called TestAuthor to test all the public methods in class Author. Below is the example of the output.
this is my author code
package assignment1;
public class Author {
//attribute of the class
private String name;
private String email;
private char gender;
//constructor
public Author(String name, String email, char gender) {
this.name = name;
this.email = email;
this.gender = gender;
}
//methods
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String newEmail) {
this.email = newEmail;
}
public char getGender() {
return gender;
}
//method to get data from author object
public String toString() {
return "Author[name="+name+", email="+email+", gender="+gender+"]";
}
}
this is my testauthor and i get this error ‘The method getName() in the type Author is not applicable for the arguments (String)’
package assignment1;
import java.util.Scanner; // Import the Scanner class
public class TestAuthor {
public static void main (String[] args) {
//test constructor
Author newAuthor = new Author();
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter name : ");
String name = input.nextLine();
newAuthor.getName(name);
System.out.println("Name : "+newAuthor.getName());
}
}
TIA

thank you for the help, i got the answer this is my testAuthor file
package assignment1;
import java.util.Scanner; // Import the Scanner class
public class TestAuthor {
public static void main (String[] args) {
//set variables()
String name;
String email;
char gender;
//Scanner input object
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
//get user input
System.out.println("Please enter Name : ");
name= input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter Email : ");
email= input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter Gender : ");
gender= input.nextLine().charAt(0);
//
Author newAuthor = new Author(""+name,""+email,'f');
name = newAuthor.getName();
email = newAuthor.getEmail();
gender = newAuthor.getGender();
//output toString
System.out.println(newAuthor.toString());
//set new email
System.out.println("Please change Email : ");
String newEmail= input.nextLine();
newAuthor.setEmail(newEmail);
//output
System.out.println("Name : "+newAuthor.getName());
System.out.println("Email : "+newAuthor.getEmail());
System.out.println("Gender : "+newAuthor.getGender());
}
