Liitle help is needed

Question

I have created two classes but have an issue with the testdriver.
Can someone let me know what the problem is?
This is my class Person
package pet;
public class Person
private String name;
private String weight;
private String sex;
private MyDate birthDate;
public Person(String name, String weight, String sex, MyDate birthDate)
this.name=name;
this.weight=weight;
this.sex=sex;
this.birthDate=birthDate;
public String getName()
  return name;
public String getWeight()
  return weight;
public String getSex()
  return sex;
public MyDate getBirthDate()
  return birthDate;
public String toString()
  return" General Person Information:\n" +
  "Name:   "     + name + "\n" +
  "Weight: "     + weight +"\n" +
  "Sex:    "     + sex    + "\n" +
  "BirthDate: "  + birthDate.toString();
}this is my second class MyDate
package pet;
public class MyDate
private String day;
private String month;
private String year;
public MyDate(String day, String month, String year)
  this.day=day;
  this.month=month;
  this.year=year;
  public String getDay()
   return day;
  public String getMonth()
    return month;
  public String getYear()
   return year;
Finally, this is my testdriver
import java .io.*;
import pet.Person;
import pet.MyDate;
public class PersonTestDriver
  public static void main(String [] args)
   String name="Peter";
   String weight="180";
   String sex="Male";
   String day="10";
   String month="August";
   String year="2007";
   Person p = new Person(name, weight, sex, MyDate birthDate, day, month, year);
   System.out.println(p.toString() );
}Any help is greatly appreciated.

atleb,
Might I also suggest...
  public String toString() {
    return ("<person"
    +" name=\""+name+"\""
    +" weight=\""+weight+"\""
    +" gender=\""+gender+"\""
    +" birthDate=\""+birthDate+"\""
    +" />");
  }because it's a standard format it's actually useful.
PS: The code you posted (all classes) are riddled with simple syntax errors... I expect you've got some work to do yet just ironing the errors out of it.
Good luck. Keith.
