So I am just getting the basics of java down, and I am creating this program and getting an error at this line:

   public void setDogLooks( int age,weight String dawg, boolean Mad ){

"weight" cannot be resolved to a type.

I'm not sure what's wrong?

The whole program:

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Puppy{
   
   int puppyAge,weight;
   String DogType;
   boolean IsMad;
   //String [] dogs = {"black", "weiner"};

   
   public void CheckType ( ) {
	   String [] dogs = {"blue", "weiner"};
	   
	   if(Arrays.asList(dogs).contains(DogType)) {

		   System.out.println("Matched");
	   }
	    else {
			   System.out.println("Unkown dawg type");
	    }
   }
   public void returnValues ( ) {
	  System.out.println("Dog age:" + puppyAge + " Type:" + DogType); 
   }
   public void setDogLooks( int age,weight String dawg, boolean Mad ){
       puppyAge = age;
       DogType = dawg;
   }

   public static void main(String []args){
      Puppy myPuppy = new Puppy( );

      myPuppy.setDogLooks( 2,15,"weiner",True);
      myPuppy.returnValues ( );
      myPuppy.CheckType();

   }
}

public void setDogLooks( int age, int weight, String dawg, boolean Mad ){

public void is similar to a procedure in pascal you need to declare the type of each input

try

public void setDogLooks( int age, int weight, String dawg, boolean Mad ){

thanks guys and thats exactly what i have been comparing it to, I just hate how errors in java don't explain what the problem is as much as it does on pascal/simba

It's funny, because I find Java errors more useful most of the time.

Meh I always found "invalid number of paramters" always more helpful then "blah blah blah cannot be resolved to a type"

back when I played around with RSPS sources I used to use a .bat to compile the source and if I missed like a semi-colon I would always get spammed with exactly 100 errors of the same thing

This is why most people use an IDE, much less hassle.
