I am working on this code for a class. I do not typically ask for help but I know I am just missing something stupid on my part. I have all of it done by I have 2 errors one at line 26 and the other at 33. My problem is for the life of me I cannot figure out how to correct this. If anyone is willing to help I would much apprecitate it if not thanks anyways.
CODE

public class BankAccount
{
  private double balance;
  private String name;
  private double newBalance;
  
  public BankAccount(String owner)
{
  this.name = owner;
  this.balance = 0.00;
}

  public BankAccount(String name, double balance)
  {
    this.name = name;
    this.balance = balance;
  }
  //methods
  public String toString()
  {
    return this.name + " has " + this.balance + " in the account";
  }
  
  public double deposit(double amnt)
  {
      amnt + this.balance = this.newBalance;
      newBalance = balance;
      return balance;
  }
  
  public double withdraw( double wthamnt )
  {
    balance - wthamnt = newBalance;
    newBalance = balance;
    return balance;
    }
  public double getBalance()
  {
    return balance;
  }
}

You had assignments mixed up. They're just some simple mistakes that beginners make. No worries!

for line 26:
CODE
amnt + this.balance = this.newBalance;

should be

CODE
this.newBalance = amnt + this.balance;


and for line 33:
CODE
balance - wthamnt = newBalance;

should be

CODE
newBalance = balance - withamt;


Remember, you're always assigning the left side to the right side of the equals sign.
And you probably wanna switch around the lines right after that. I think that's what you're looking for to get the right result.
