Answer 1

1) You left out the return value for your getter.
2) You had static member functions in a non-static class.

The below works:

class phone
{
String color;
String model;
phone(){
this.color="RED";
}
phone(String c){
this.color=c;
}
public String getColor(){
return color;
}
public void setColor(String c){
this.color=c;
}
}

Answer 2

yeah it works
but what was the problem using static there and not using String method declaration in getter

Answer 3

but whats creating an error @xan

Answer 4

No error now.

Answer 5

A getter GETS a value. It's the return that makes that happen. The compiler will cause an error if a getter has no return.

Getters and setters can only be static if they get and set static fields.
