Thread: In Class Problem

Hey my name Josh and im in a intro to java programing class as we speak and my teacher offered me extra credit if i could figure out this problem so hopefully this forum can help.

im new to this so i applogize if this is the in the wrong format

 
public abstract class Vehicle
{
	private String powerSource;
	private int wheels;
	protected int price;
	public Vehicle(String powerSource, int wheels);
	{
		setPowerSource(powerSource);
		setWheels(wheels);
		setPrice();
	}
	public String getPowerSource()
	{
		return powerSource;
	}
	public int getWheels()
	{
		return wheels;
	}
	public int getPrice()
	{
		return price;
	}
	public void setPowerSource(String source)
	{
		powerSource = source;
	}
	public void setWheels(int wls)
	{
		wheels = wls;
	}
	public abstract void setPrice();
}

the error that comes up is:
Vehicle.java:12: error: missing method body, or declare abstract
public Vehicle(String powerSource, int wheels);


thank you ahead of time anyone who can help me get extra credit

You've got a misplaced semicolon on the Vehicle constructor's top line. Get rid of it.

Constructors should look like:

public class MyClass {
  public MyClass(SomeType someParameter)
  {
     // stuff goes here
  }
}

Not:

public class MyClass {
  public MyClass(SomeType someParameter);
  {
     // stuff goes here
  }
}

Notice the difference?

Thank you so much for the quick response and sry it was so simple

Nothing simple about it. Sometimes you just need a fresh pair of eyes to see with. That's why I sometimes find that if I sleep on a tough problem, I can solve it in the morning with my "fresh eyes". Best of luck with your course work!
