Unaware as to how the code did not compile??? confused?

[teekei]

This is my only class that didn't compile w/o bugs. I can't figure out why.

public class Bus extends MotorVehicles
{
	private int nbrPassSeats;
	private int range;
	private int stowCapacity;

	public Bus(int wheels, String trans, String brakes, String steering, int passSeats, int distance, int stowage)
	{
		super(wheels, trans, brakes, steering);
		setNbrPassSeats(passSeats);
		setRange(distance);
		setStowCapacity(stowage);
	}

	public void setNbrPassSeats(int passSeats)
	{
		nbrPassSeats = passSeats;
	}

	public int NbrPassSeats()
	{
		return nbrPassSeats;
	}

	public void setRange(int distance)
	{
		range = distance;
	}

	public int getRange()
	{
		return range;
	}

	public void setStowCapacity(int stowage)
	{
		stowCapacity = stowage;
	}

	public int getStowCapacity()
	{
		return stowCapacity;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString()
	{
		return String.format( "\nThis vehicle has %d wheels, %s transmission, %s brakes, %s steering, %d seats, a range of %d miles, and a cargo capacity of %d pounds\n",
		getNbrWheels(), getTranType(), getBrakeSystem(), getSteeringSystem(), getNbrPassSeats(),
		getRange(), getStowCapacity() );
	}

}

I apologize for the amount of code, any help given will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

It looks to me in your Bus class, the getNbrPassSeats() method is missing the "get" part. you call getNbrPassSeats() at the bottom but the actual method name you have right now is NbrPassSeats() w/o the "get".

[teekei]

I have done that, thank you, now I only have 6 errors, do you know why my class is not inheriting the methods while my other classes successfully did so?

[teekei]

I also am wondering why I have an override error, I don't see anything wrong with how I declared it.

[Norm]

The first part of the error message that you posted appears to be missing some text. I think that missing part is the key to the rest of the problems.

[teekei]

I just got it. Thanks for the help!
