Question

I am recieving the following errors for the program listed below, can someone help out.
java:112: variable declawed might not have been initialized
java:112: variable age might not have been initialized
java:115: variable name might not have been initialized

once compiled and working correctly I should get the program to print out and allow user input for each cat, then after input for all three cats has been inputted, the program is supposed to print out the following report:

Names of cats >=3 that have claws
Name
age

/*********************************************************************************************************

Explanation / Answer

uninitialized means they dont have a initial value rather garbage value given to it
define a initial value for them..
age = 0, name = "" etc

 

this may also occur due to the fact that there is no getname function
