// Setter for year public void setYear(int newYear) { year = newYear; } This makes it easy to print a readable representation of the car.
// Setter for make public void setMake(String newMake) { make = newMake; } // Setter for model public void setModel(String newModel) { model = newModel; }
public int getYear() { return year; }
// 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 :
// Setters public void setMake(String make) { this.make = make; }
public String toString() { return year + " " + make + " " + model; } } Here’s the complete class (without a main method – CodeHS usually provides a separate tester file).
// Getter for year public int getYear() { return year; } These allow you to change the values after the object is created.
// Getters public String getMake() { return make; }
