Remember to use interface types (List)

This doesn't quite match the Javadoc description. It should only take a single argument, currentYear. The age is already stored as an instance variable, so you don't need to get it again as an argument


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create an instance of Person
Person me = new Person("Huma", 22);

// Create another instance of Person with a different name and age and
// assign it to a different variable
Person dude = new Person("The Dude", 20);

// Print the first person
System.out.println(me);

// Print the second person
System.out.println(dude);

// Get the name of the first person and store it in a local variable
String name = me.name;
System.out.println(name);

// Using the birthYear method, get the birth year of the first person
// and store it in a local variable. Input the actual current year (e.g. 2025)
// as the argument.
int birthYear = dude.birthYear(20, 2025);

// In a separate statement, print the local variable holding the birth year.

System.out.println(birthYear);

Strings in Java should typically be compared using .equals, not == (see the comment that was at the bottom of this file)

As you work through this exercise, write down anything that you needed to look up or struggled to remember here. It can be just a word or two (e.g. "joining strings"). You can use this as a guide of what to make extra sure you're refreshed on before exams and interviews.

-
- Join strings --> String result = String.join(", ", list);
- Sorting lists --> Collections.sort(myList);
