Eclipse says The constructor Email() is undefined

I am tring to expand on a tutorial I was following Java Project Step by step Build An Email Administration Application (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3Ibvu0htNs&t=386s). I am trying to use getters and setters to allow the encapsulation to do its job, and eventually allow a user to enter their own name instead of having a preset name in the variable. I know the code is messy I have been playing with this code longer then I would like to admit. XD

package encap;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Email s = new Email();
        
        s.setName("Billy");
        
        System.out.println(s.getName());
        
        
        //Email em1 = new Email("John", "Smith");
        //System.out.println (em1.ShowInfo());
    }

}

package encap;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Email {
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String password;
    private String department;
    private String email;
    private int mailboxCapacity = 500;
    private String alternateEmail;
    private int passwordDefaultLength = 10;
    private String companySuffix = "company.com";
    
    //Constructor to receive first and lastName
    public Email() {
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
        
        //call a method asking for the department return the department
        this.department = setDepartment();
        
        // Call a method that returns a random password
        this.password = randomPassword(passwordDefaultLength);
        System.out.println("Your password is: " + password);
        
        //combine elements to generate email
        email = firstName.toLowerCase() + "." + lastName.toLowerCase() + "@" + department.toLowerCase() + "." + companySuffix.toLowerCase();
    }

    // Ask for the department
    private String setDepartment() {
        System.out.print("New worker: " + firstName + " " + lastName + "nDEPARTMENT CODES:n1 for Salesn2 for Developmentn3 for Accounting n0 for nonenEnter department code: ");
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        int depChoice = in.nextInt();

        for(int i=0; i<length; i++) {
            int rand = (int) (Math.random() * passwordSet.length());
            password[i] = passwordSet.charAt(rand);
        }
        return new String(password);
    }

Answer

a) The line “Email s = new Email();” should work fine. Just ensure whether you had saved the program before running it.But you’ll get a null pointer exception at

email = firstName.toLowerCase() + “.” + lastName.toLowerCase() + “@” + department.toLowerCase() + “.” + companySuffix.toLowerCase();

b) The error you mentioned might occur only when you un-comment the line “Email em1 = new Email(“John”, “Smith”);” and execute the program as there are no parameterized constructor in the class Email. At that time you might get the error as “The constructor Email(String, String) is undefined”.

But the current constructor instantiation should work fine.Just ensure(a)
