Welcome to the forum!

Nice to have you here -

To make a DATE you have to pass the parameters like

DATE myDate = new DATE ( 17,12, 2019);

the numbers of parameters must match

Convention

The Convention has it like this:

  • Constants ALL_UPPER_CASE
  • class names like Date UpperCase
  • objects smallCase
  • arrays plural and smallCase

Please post your code as text not as image

You need to add an explicit default constructor and you need to change the last method to use the constructor like this


class Date {
  int d;
  int m;
  int y;

  Date() {
  }

  Date(int day, int month, int year) {
    d = day;
    m = month;
    y = year;
    println(d, m, y);
  }
}

public void dates() {
  new Date();
}
