    Default Help with my program I'm new...

    I have a program to write: Wrtie a class MPG, which has two instance variables miles and gallons, three instance methods printmpg(), setmiles(float m) and setgallons (float g) and aconstructor MPG (float m, float g).
    (i) printMPG() - calculate and prints the miles per gallon based on the values held in the instance variables miles and gallons - mpg=miles/gallons.
    (ii)set miles (float m) - set the miles i.e set miles to the value of the parameter passed
    (iii) setgallons(float g) - set the gallons i.e sets gallons to the value of the parameter passed
    (iv) MPG (Float m, float g) - the constructor which sets the instance variable miles and gallons.

    This is what I have and I dont know what to do after. I am completely lose. Please help someone...

    import java.io;
    class MPG
    {
       //instance variable
         int miles;
         int gallons;
       //constructor
        MPG (float m, float g)
        {
          miles=m; gallons=g;
          }
            //methods
            double PrintMPG()
            {
              return miles/gallons;
             }
