public String toString() { return year + " " + make + " " + model; } } Here’s the complete class (without a main method – CodeHS usually provides a separate tester file).
// Setter for year public void setYear(int newYear) { year = newYear; } This makes it easy to print a readable representation of the car.
// Constructor public Car(String carMake, String carModel, int carYear) { make = carMake; model = carModel; year = carYear; } These return the current values of the instance variables.
// Getter for make public String getMake() { return make; } // Getter for model public String getModel() { return model; } 5.6.7 Car Class Codehs
// Setters public void setMake(String make) { this.make = make; }
public String getModel() { return model; }
public int getYear() { return year; }
Once you master getters, setters, constructors, and toString() , you’ll be ready for more advanced topics like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation in larger projects. Got stuck? Double‑check your spelling, semicolons, and that your file is named Car.java . You’ve got this. 🚗
public void setModel(String model) { this.model = model; }
public class Car { private String make; private String model; private int year; // Constructor public Car(String make, String model, int year) { this.make = make; this.model = model; this.year = year; } public String toString() { return year + "
// Getter for year public int getYear() { return year; } These allow you to change the values after the object is created.
// toString public String toString() { return year + " " + make + " " + model; } } : this is used in the constructor and setters to distinguish between the parameter and the instance variable. It’s not required if you use different parameter names (like carMake ), but this is a clean, standard practice. Testing Your Class CodeHS usually provides a CarTester or Main class. If you want to test manually, you could add a main method inside a separate class or temporarily inside Car :
