Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

private string courseName
{

}

setName(string)
{

}

These were my instructions:

1) create a private string field
example:
private string courseName

2) create a method named setName with a string parameter. Inside the method body-assign the string parameter to the private string field (courseName)

What I have tried:

I have tried reading through my book and looking at videos. I'm still very much confused.

Solution 2

courseName is supposed to be a field not a method. See Accessors (C#)[^]. You may also find .NET Book Zero by Charles Petzold[^] useful for beginners.

Solution 1

You're close...but not quite there. And it's pretty obvious when you see it written down.

C#

public class MyClass
   {
   private string courseName;
   ...
   public void setName(string name) 
      {
      courseName = name;
      }
   }

Now look at the homework and you should see how each "bit" relates to the question.
