Ok. but I don't understand how to fix it. I am struggling with this.Well, you either have to call methods and constructors that exist, or you have to create methods and constructors that match what you're calling. Which one is correct depends on the specific situation.
For example:
public int add(int i1, int i2) {
  return i1 + i2;
int x = add(5); // Error -- no method add() taking one intHere, obviously, we need to call something like int x = add(5, 8), because we know we want to add two numbers.
public class Person {
  private String lastName;
  private String firstName;
  public Person(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
Person joeSmith = new Person("Smith", "Joe"); // Error -- no (String, String) constructor on Person classHere it would make sense to change the constructor to take a firstName argument and set the firstName member variable.
So look at what you're trying to do and figure out whether the method you're calling is wrong or the way you're calling it is wrong.
