In that case, you have to write this.name = "Screenshot" instead of this.name = name, in second constructor. In your current code, this.name refers to variable defined in class, while there is no parameter in second constructor, "name" will also refer to variable of class which is the cause for null output.

Your second contructor is lacking a parameter, which is why it assigns null to name. I can't see the problem so I am not sure, but this is the reason most probably.

Requirement was to: We are creating our own application for taking screenshots. It has an option to set a name for screenshot-file to be saved. If user doesn't insert a name for it while saving, program automatically sets "Screenshot" name for it. Given program should create and save two screenshots: one with default name and one with name given by user. But something goes wrong. Fix the program by completing two constructors, so that given outputs works correctly. !!!You need to define two constructors: one should have a parameter (for setting the name taken from user) and the other one should not (for default name). I am missing something...
