Re: I get an error
Hello.
Did you read what the error says?
If yes can you guess what could be the reason? You clearly said its at line 5.

Re: I get an error
The instructions may not be specifically clear, but with a look at the bigger picture, I would expect an instance of "Employee" to represent a single individual employee. I would also expect this employee to have only one name and only one age, though it may be possible for the employee to work in more than one department. (By convention the class name Employee should begin with E rather than e)Originally Posted by thenick
Also please use code tags when posting code, you can find instructions on the Announcements page if you need help.
On to the error: Always include the full text of any error message with your code and question. Error messages are filled with useful information that is helpful in finding the cause of the problem,
(usually, but that is another topic).
Re: I get an error
I would check out some basic tutorials on how to declare variables, and which types hold what kind of values.
Declaring Member Variables (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)
Post your progress and we can assist.
Re: I get an error
Alex,
The error is clearly evident. Maybe you copied that code from some other language.
There is no predefined "var" datatype in java that you have used.
Syed.
