Need help with a lab

[Xylitol]

I'm having a problem with my constructor in my CollegeStudent Class
http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/Xylitol/Inhertiance.JPG
return super.toString () + ", student id: " + myIdNum + ", gpa: " +"
Error - myIdNum has private access in Student

Code
Person
class Person
{
private String myName ; // name of the person
private int myAge; // person's age
private String myGender; // "M" for male, "F" for female

// constructor
public Person(String name, int age, String gender)
{
myName = name;
myAge = age;
myGender = gender;
}

public String getName()
{
return myName;
}


public int getAge()
{
return myAge;
}

public String getGender()
{
return myGender;
}

public void setName(String name)
{
myName = name;
}

public void setAge(int age)
{
myAge = age;
}

public void setGender(String gender)
{
myGender = gender;
}

public String toString()
{
return myName + ", age: " + myAge + ", gender: " +
myGender;
}
}

Student

/**
* Write a description of class Student here.
*
* @author (your name)
* @version (a version number or a date)
*/
class Student extends Person
{
private String myIdNum; // Student Id Number
private double myGPA; // grade point average

// constructor
public Student(String name, int age, String gender,
String idNum, double gpa)
{
// use the super class' constructor
super(name, age, gender);

// initialize what's new to Student
myIdNum = idNum;
myGPA = gpa;
}

public String getIdNum()
{
return myIdNum;
}

public double getGPA()
{
return myGPA;
}


public void setIdNum(String idNum)
{
myIdNum = idNum;
}

public void setGPA(double gpa)
{
myGPA = gpa;
}

// overrides the toString method in the parent class
public String toString()
{
return super.toString() + ", student id: " + myIdNum + ", gpa: " + myGPA;
}
}

[dighn]

you have the last two parameters swapped in the super() call.

 

[slpaulson]

You have gpa and id switched.

In your constructor, it should be super (name, age, gender, idNum, gpa).

alright now I got an error with private
How should I get past this?

use protected, not private
