    <p>I have an assignment that requires me to modify constructors. The instruction is:</p> <p>Modify both Account constructors First constructor will accept account number as a parameter and set account number property (class variable) Second constructor will accept account number and initial account balance and set corresponding properties</p> <p>What I do not understand is "set account number property" and "set corresponding properties."</p> <p>My two constructors are:</p> <pre><code>public Account(String newAccountType, double depositAmount, long accountNumber) { this.accountType = newAccountType; Random randomGenerator = new Random(); // Random Number Generator for account number creation this.accountNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10000); setAccountStatus("Active"); // call account status setter to set the status to active DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"); Date date = new Date(); this.dateOpened = dateFormat.format(date).toString(); this.lastTransaction = dateFormat.format(date).toString(); deposit(depositAmount); System.out.println("Account successfully opened! Your current balance is: " + this.accountBalance); } </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>public void deposit(double depositAmount, long accountNumber, int initialAccountNum, double accountBalance) { if (this.accountStatus == "Active") { this.accountBalance = this.accountBalance + depositAmount; System.out.println("Deposit successful"); System.out.println("Balance: " + this.accountBalance); DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"); this.lastTransaction = dateFormat.format(date).toString(); } else { System.out.println("Account is inactive"); } } </code></pre> <p>I added the accountNumber into the first and second constructors already. What is the correct way to complete this task? Thanks</p>

    1. COYour second method is not a constructor. Ostensibly (if your assignment makes any sense) there should be another function called `Account` with a different parameter list from the first; this is another constructor. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/constructors.html

    2. COYou should read up what a "class variable" is, then you should be able to complete this step.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
