Question 52 (2024):

Submission reference: IN3697

hi, I have tried to find the mistake for hours and I still dont understand what is wrong because the error that comes up says I am comparing 2 strings with an '==' but I am just reassigning the variable so when, it is displayed it has an X next to the number, but it seems to not work. Here is my code:

    public void setType(String name, String type) {
	 code deleted
		String updatedType = restaurant.getFoodType() + "X";
		return ;
         code deleted
	    }

Answer 52:

If you want to change the type of a Restaurant object then you have to call the type setter method on it. At the moment, you are just getting the food type and changing the local variable, so you are not mutating the Restaurant object at all.
