Frustrated java noob

I get a constructor method undefined while I have it defined.

java Code:

Original - java Code
public class GameEntry{ public int score = 0; public void GameEntry(int new_score){ score = new_score; }//constructor public void GameEntry(){ score = 0; }//constructor public void add(int new_score){ score = new_score; }//add public void print(){ System.out.println(score); }//print public static void main(String[] args){ GameEntry score1 = new GameEntry(233); }//main }//GameEntry

public class GameEntry{
    public int score = 0; 
    public void GameEntry(int new_score){
        score = new_score;
    }//constructor
    public void GameEntry(){
        score = 0;
    }//constructor
    
    public void add(int new_score){
        score = new_score;
    }//add
    
    public void print(){
        System.out.println(score);
    }//print
 
    public static void main(String[] args){
        GameEntry score1 = new GameEntry(233);
    }//main
    
}//GameEntry

Remove the void return type from your constructors.
I.e., public GameEntry(int new_score). Constructors do not have a return type. If you do give them a return type then they become just normal methods.

Good luck

Also, since you've added a method to set the score, you should make that class-level variable private.
