Inside your Account class you need a constructor that handles two strings.

Code:

public Account(String email, String password){
    /* Do something with Strings.  Probably set them equal
     * to the email and password fields in the Account class.
     */
}

i have this already

Code:

public Account(String email, String pwd, int balance, ArrayList transactions) 
    {
        this.email = email;
        password = pwd;
        balance = 0;
        transactions = new ArrayList<String>();
        
    }

Yeah but you need a constructor with the right signature. If you are going to pass it two Strings, then you need a constructor that handles two Strings like the one I put above. It is possible and usually a good idea to have more than one constructor.

so i have to create a new constructor just handling the 2 strings?
i dont understand would it not function just the same as the one i have already?

Code:

 Account Account = new Account(email, password);

So this is the call that you are trying to make. Since you are passing two Strings, the compiler is looking for a constructor that accepts two strings. The one that you have:

Code:

public Account(String email, String pwd, int balance, ArrayList transactions) 
    {
        this.email = email;
        password = pwd;
        balance = 0;
        transactions = new ArrayList<String>();
        
    }

accepts more arguments than the two Strings that the compiler is looking for so it doesn't think that the method exists (and it doesn't).

It actually would function the same as the one you already have. Look at your code again. You pass in the int balance and the ArrayList transactions but you don't actually do anything with them. You hardcode the account balance to 0 and create a new ArrayList instead of using the one that you passed.

So just copy that code and get rid of the int and ArrayList that you are passing in.

i see thanks for explaining that to me
