Question

Sorry, just learning Java; but, can someone tell me why I’m getting a “cannot find symbol” error?
My code is as follows:

public class NumberHolder {
  public int anInt;
  public float aFloat;

  public NumberHolder(int setAnInt, float setAFloat) {
    setAnInt = anInt;
    setAFloat = aFloat;
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    NumberHolder newNumber = NumberHolder(12, 24F);
  }
}

Answer 1

Looks like you’re missing a new before the call to the constructor:

NumberHolder newNumber = new NumberHolder(12, 24F);

EDIT:
Also, as Tassos Bassoukos points out in his answer, you need to turn around the assignments in the constructor:

anInt = setAnInt;
aFloat = setAFloat;

Although personally, I like to write my constructors like this:

public NumberHolder(int anInt, float aFloat) {
  this.anInt = anInt;
  this.aFloat = aFloat;
}

This is a matter of style and personal preference, though.
