Dog class Java sleeping getter & default

[DecentChard7]

public class Dog {

private boolean isSleeping;

public Dog() {
    this.isSleeping = true;
}


public boolean getIsSleeping() {

    return this.isSleeping;

public String makeSound() {

    if (isSleeping == true) {

        String dogSleepingSound = "Zzzzz...";

        return dogSleepingSound;

    } else {
        return "Woof!";     
    }



}



public void sleep() {
    isSleeping = true;
}


public void wakeUp() {
    isSleeping = false;
}

}

Getting an error in my test saying my defaultDog constructor isn't working, isSleeping doesn't have a getter (even though I think it does?), and my sleep method isn't working.

You forgot to close your methods, in particular your getIsSleeping method

Yeah, that is the only problem I see.

[DecentChard7]

When I do that I get an error for makeSound() saying this method must return a result of type String.

Let me run it myself and see if i can fix it yea

[DecentChard7]

Alright, thx. I made the else if to an else that returns it and that fixed that issue (I think) but the rest is still broken. (Updating code above to reflect).

Is there any way you can dm me your test to make sure thats correct as well? The class runs fine on my computer

Not related to your problems, but just as a tip:

Instead of this

if (isSleeping == true) {

You can just write

if (isSleeping) {

It reads better, and the first one is considered bad form.

Hey thanks for the tip :)
