Courses Plus Student 4,222 PointsFix the compiler error by making the HolaWorld's sayHelloTo method properly override the sayHelloTo method in the HelloW
I think I get what the task is asking (newbie) but unsure of how to layout the code? any ideas
public class HelloWorld {
private String programmingLanguage;
public HelloWorld() {
programmingLanguage = "Java";
}
public void sayHelloTo(String name) {
System.out.printf("Hello, %s%n!", name);
}
}
public class HolaWorld extends HelloWorld {
@Override
public void sayHelloTo() {
String name = "";
System.out.printf("Hola, %s%n!", name);
}
}

12,683 PointsIn HolaWorld.java you want to make sure that sayHelloTo() accepts the same parameters as the method in HelloWorld.java.
If you look at the two methods you can see that they differ a bit.
Try changing sayHelloTo() in HolaWorld.java to match the one in HelloWorld.java and see what happens.

6,807 PointsI changed the method in the holaworld to match it with the on i the helloworld . i also removed String name = ""; because it has been declare already . this is my code below HolaWorld.java public class HolaWorld extends HelloWorld { @Override public void sayHelloTo(String name) { System.out.printf("Hola, %s%n!", name); } }
