Return multiple string format

I am new in this forum. I am stuck on a part of my code. One method of my code give me this information :

getFullAddress() should return the address as a formatted String, one item per line: e.g.:

23 High Street
Newcastle
NE1 1NE

The thing is that i am stuck, i tried everything but nothing works.

Here is my code : 

/**
* Write a description of class Address here.
* 
* @author Bento Xavier
* @version 10/17/2015
*/
public class Address
{
  private String postcode;
  private String street;
  private String town;

 public Address(String street, String town, String postcode)
 {
   this.street = street;
   this.town = town;
   this.postcode = postcode;
 }

 public String getFullAddress()
 {
    String fullAddress = "";
    fullAddress = ;
 }

 public String getPostcode()
 {
   return postcode;
 }

public String getStreet()
{
   return street;
}

 public String getTown()
 {
   return town;
 }

 public void printAddress()
 {
   System.out.println(street + " \n" + town + " \n" + postcode );
 }

 public void setFullAddress(String street, String town, String postcode)
 {
   this.street = street;
   this.town = town;
   this.postcode = postcode;
 }

 public void setPostcode(String postcode)
 {
   this.postcode = postcode;
 }

 public void setStreet(String street)
 {
   this.street = street;
 }

 public void setTown(String town)
 {
   this.town = town;
 }
}

Thank you in advance for your help

You aren't returning anything in getFullAddress(). Change getFullAddress method to this:

public String getFullAddress() {
    final String separator = System.getProperty("line.separator"); //final indicates the variable will not change
    return getStreet() + separator  + getTown() + separator  + getPostcode();
}

I suggest you use System.getProperty("line.separator"); over \n, because \n will not correctly work on every operating system. Getting the line separator using System.getProperty() returns the correct newline character for every OS.

Just concat the string with newline characters between them:

public String getFullAddress() {
    return String.format("%s%n%s%n", getStreet(), getTown(), getPostcode());
}
