Java Assistance with a slotmachine.
 

Hello, I could use some help with a slotmachine assignment I have gotten majority of the first class which is TripleString. I'm having trouble with the accessor string and the mutator string. Well I added String in front of the set string which is str1=s1; str2=s2; etc. Is this right? Eclpise is telling me with the accessor string to add a return getstr1(); instead of return str1();. Which one of all these things are right? Sorry if I sound a bit confusing I am a bit overwhelmed right now.

import java.util.*;

public class slotmachine{
static Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
/**
* @param args
*/

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}


}




class TripleString {
public static final int MAX_LEN = 20;
private String string1;
private String string2;
private String string3;

TripleString()
{
string1 ="";
string2 ="";
string3 ="";
}

public void setTripleString (String str1, String str2, String str3) {

string1 = str1;
string2 = str2;
string3 = str3;
}
public void setStrings(String s1, String s2, String s3){
String str1 = s1; String str2 = s2; String str3 = s3;
}
public String getstr1(){
return str1();
}
public String getStr2(){
return str2();
}
public String getstr3(){
return str3();
}
private boolean vaildString( String str ) {
if (str.length() >0 && str.length() <= MAX_LEN) {

return true;
}
else {

return false;
}
}
}

These three methods for str1() through 3, simply do not exist. I would presume the intent is to return string1 - string3. setStrings method also doesn't do anything useful, so you should either remove it or correct it.

Also, in the future please wrap your code in [php][/php] or [code][/code] tags to preserve formatting.

ok, so do i create a method or each of the str1-3?

I don't know why you'd want to. You already have getStr1 through 3, so simply return the property that its representing in there.
