A few notes:

- Class name should be in PascalCase form (by convention)

- String comparison is performed by using equals() method, so `this.name != obj.name` is not quite right.

- Code indentation helps in debugging, start learning how to indent code.

- It's better to attach a code bit's link than to paste a raw text code. At least, syntax highlighting helps to notify us when we wrote something improperly.
