Updating & Retrieving Private Variables from Postman Class in Worker

[kloong]

Question:
public class Postman {
private String Name;
private int Age;
}

How you can update and retrieve the private variables Name and Age from another class Worker.

public class Worker {
//An object a is created from class Postman

What i tried to do:
//Postman.java
public class Postman{
private String name;
private int age;
}

//constructor
public Postman(String name, int age){
this.name=name;
this.age=age;
}

//accessors
public String getName(){
return name;
}

public int getAge(){
return age;
}

//worker.java
public class worker{
public static void main(String args[]){
Postman employee = new employee("Tom the postman", 55);
System.out.println(employee.getName(…
System.out.println(employee.getAge()…
}

}



But when i buid it, it keeps giving me the class, interface, or enum expected error. Why is that?

Answer:To update and retrieve the private variables Name and Age from another class Worker, you can create accessor methods in the Postman class. Accessor methods are methods that allow you to get and set the private attributes of a class. The following code shows an example of how to do this: //Postman.javapublic class Postman{private String name;private int age;//constructorpublic Postman(String name, int age){this.name=name;this.age=age;}//accessorspublic String getName(){return name;}public void setName(String name){this.name = name;}public int getAge(){return age;}public void setAge(int age){this.age = age;}}//worker.javapublic class worker{public static void main(String args[]){Postman employee = new employee("Tom the postman", 55);System.out.println(employee.getName());System.out.println(employee.getAge());//To update the name and ageemployee.setName("John the postman");employee.setAge(60);System.out.println(employee.getName());System.out.println(employee.getAge());}}

It appears that you have not properly defined the class and constructor in your worker.java file. Make sure that the class name and constructor name match those in your Postman.java file. Additionally, make sure that you have imported the Postman class into your worker.java file. Once these steps are completed, you should be able to successfully update and retrieve the private variables from the Postman class in your worker class.
