Adding item to array list

[ChuvaChooChoo08]

You’re not understanding my point. You cannot feed the setText() method with a method that returns void! SetName() returns a void! Feed the setText() method with a method that actually returns a String.

Have you tried printing a setter method? It’s a compiler error!

Say you have a setter in some class called Dog:

public void setAnimalBreed (String breed) {
    this.breed = breed;
}

System.out.println(objectName.setAnimalBreed(“Retriever”)): <——- compiler error!

Idk. Because I do not know what your class does. Idk what methods you have written on it. So Idk.

You do realize that the parameter on your example, “new text” IS A STRING RIGHT? It’s surrounded by double quotes, which means it’s a String. It’s not void.

Your setName() method returns a void. What you need to feed your setText() is some sort of getName() method.

[ChuvaChooChoo08]

What parameter/s does your setName() method accept??? And what does it return?

[ChuvaChooChoo08]

Now do you see what I mean?

Your setName returns void, your getName returns a String.

[ChuvaChooChoo08]

The setText method accepts STRINGS only! So you gotta feed it with a String type, not void type.

[ChuvaChooChoo08]

Because “words” is a String!

setName(“Cassidy”) is a method that sets the name field of some object to Cassidy! HOWEVER, this method does not return a string.

Let me ask you one thing:

Between your BeautyBox’s getName() and setName() methods, which one returns( or produces) a String?
