So within this class, I need to create a Equals method that will check to determine if the two objects have the same name. I tried creating the two objects within the class and just initialize it with "" for the constructor, but it gave an error on the created objects
Person.Java
public class Person
{
String firstName = "";
String lastName = "";
String age = "";
public Person (String firstName, String lastName, String age){
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.age = age;
}
public String getFirstName(){
return firstName;
}
public String getLastName(){
return lastName;
}
public String getAge(){
return age;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName){
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName){
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public void setAge(String age){
this.age = age;
}
public String toString(){
return firstName + " " + lastName + ", " + age + " years old";
}
}
Here is my driver, so basically I need a method that sees both have the same name and prints out a message saying that they have the same name. My lab states it has to be in the class NOT the driver, which is why I'm lost considering I could easily make an if/else statement within the driver.
public class PersonDriver
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Person p1 = new Person("John","Doe", "42");
Person p2 = new Person("John","Doe", "43");
System.out.println(p1);
System.out.println(p2);
}
}
