Why does this print null?

Hey guys. I'm making/testing a simple class that inputs a variable and a name and then I can use methods I make to print both of these values. I have made the class (Correctly, according to a solutions manual), yes when I try to print the name I get null. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Code:

---

public class Product
{
        private String name;
        private double value;
       
        public Product(String named, double cost)
        {
                named = name;
                cost = value;
        }
       
        public String getName()
        {
                return name;
        }
       
        public double getPrice()
        {
                return value;
        }
       
        public void reducePrice(int reduce)
        {
                value = value - reduce;
        }
       
       

}

Code:

---

public class ProductPrinter
{
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                Product jean1 = new Product("Toaster", 10);
                //Product jean2 = new Product("item2", 15);
               
                System.out.println(jean1.getName());
               
        }

}

The print gives me null.

should be

value=cost;
name = named;

what ever is on the left is the one that is getting the value a signed.

Thank you very much.

dear jean28,
you have defined the constructor wrongly.
It should be,
name=named;
value=cost;

becoz after the constructor is started it will get values in variable "named" and "cost"
