Question

Java Programming Language:

Find the compiling error in the following code segment. Explain what the problem is and how to fix it.

public class Mark {

private float value;       

public float Mark(float startValue) {       

value = startValue; }

}

Answer 1

public class Mark {

private float value;       

public float Mark(float startValue) {       

value = startValue; }

}

As per this code compiling error is about variable value and error occures at value = startValue; . in class Mark it is declared as private. So that we can only access that varible with in the class and viewed by any method. We can not perform any operation out of the scope. So that it throus comilation error wile executing above code segement .
