How to set up setters and getters to pass the test cases. Ceasar Cipher type problem

Question

I need help clearing some test cases from a main method that was provided. I had to set up the class that has the setters and getters as well as the translation but I am getting stuck.

This is the class with the test cases.

}

I have tried to store a value inside of a getter method by changing

 public void translateSaurToEng(String saurianToEnglish)

and

 public void translateEngToSaur(String englishToSaurian)

into

 public String translateSaurToEng(String saurianToEnglish)

 public String translateEngToSaur(String englishToSaurian)

so that I can return a value and store it for later use.

I then did this

public String getSaurian()
{
    //Just seeing what the output is
    this.saurian = translateEngToSaur(english);

    return this.saurian;
}

public String getEnglish()
{
    this.english = translateSaurToEng(saurian);

    //Just seeing what the output is for english
    System.out.println("This is getEnglish   "+ english);

    return this.english;
}

but the method is incompatible because

 translateSaurToEng(saurian)

is void, that is why I changed it to

public String translateSaurToEng(String saurianToEnglish)

then tried to do it this way but it was not letting me because of an error.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You're close! The problem is actually in your setter methods. In addition to setting the passed String to one field, you should translate the passed String and set that translation to the other field.

i.e.

public void setSaurian(String newSaurian)
{
     //this is what you have now:
    saurian = newSaurian;

     //this is what you need to add:
    english = translateSaurToEnglish();
}

If you do this in both setter methods, then you getter methods should just be able to return their corresponding member without any other code.

public String getEnglish()
{
    //this is no longer necessary:
         //this.english = translateSaurToEng(saurian);

    //Just seeing what the output is for english
    System.out.println("This is getEnglish   "+ english);

    return this.english;
   }
