Question

I’m trying to invoke the method from this string so that I can ask the client their username etc.

here is the code:

public String getNameFromClient(BufferedReader in, PrintWriter out) {

try

{  out.println("Send name");
   String name = in.readLine();
   return name;
} catch (Exception e) {
   System.out.println("ChatClient err: " + e.getMessage());
   e.printStackTrace();
  return null;
}
}

i’ve tried getNameFromClient name = new Name(name);
I am familiar with OO programming with PHP but haven’t done java for a few years so forgive me if my logic or skills lack!

Thanks

Answer 1

Try this:

String nameString = getNameFromClient(in, out);
Name name = new Name(nameString);

Or you can do it in one line:

Name name = new Name(getNameFromClient(in, out));

Hope that helps.
