required variable, found value

Question

in the if statement is returning as unexpected type– required: variable found: value. I tried == and that obviously didn't work.

public class Array
{
    private College[] coll;

    public Array(College[] coll){
        this.coll = coll;
    }

    public String changeTheValue(String name,int number){
        String result= new String();
        for(int i = 0 ; i < this.coll.length-1;i++){
            if(this.coll[i].getName() == name){
                this.coll[i].getNumber() = number;
                res += "Successfully changed the value of name "+this.coll[i].getName()+" "+this.coll[i].getNumber()+"\n";
            }
            else {
                res +=this.coll[i].getName()+" not found."; 
            }

        }

        return result;
    }
}

this.maha[i].getNilai() is returning you a value to which you are trying to set a value and hence you get that error.

You need a setter function

like

this.maha[i].setNilai(number);
