Error?

[Tukewl4u]

Can some one tell me why I'm getting this error? I really don't understand
why it shouldn't work.

Executing: C:\Program Files\ConTEXT\ConExec.exe "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\bin\javac.exe" "GradeBookTest.java"

GradeBookTest.java:30: ')' expected
gradebook2.setCourseName ( String Name ); // set the course name
^
1 error

Execution finished.

From the following:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class GradeBookTest
{
// main method begins program execution
public static void main ( String args[] )
{

// create GradeBook object
GradeBook gradebook1 = new GradeBook( "CSCI 3134 Introduction to Java
Programming" );

GradeBook gradebook2 = new GradeBook( "Joe Schmo" );

// display initial value of courseName for each GradeBook
System.out.printf( "GradeBook for course name is: %s\n",
gradebook1.getCourseName() );

System.out.printf( "This course is presented by: %s\n",
gradebook2.getCourseName() );
// prompt for and read course name
System.out.println( "Please enter the course name:" );
String Name = input.nextLine(); // read a line of text
gradebook2.setCourseName ( String Name ); // set the course name
System.out.println(); // outputs a blank line

// display welcome message after specifying course name
GradeBook.displayMessage();

} //end main
} // end class GradeBookTest

Drop the "String" - you want "Name", not "String Name". A cut & paste
error, maybe?

gradebook2.setCourseName ( String Name ); // set the course name

In addition, I would recommend that you not capitalize the first letter of
variables, as it can sometimes get confusing.
