Hi Guys!I need help starting off a program I am trying to write for class. The class should contain a private instance variable to represent temperature in Degrees Celsius and it should have the following methods: Temperature(float); and Temperature()-which sets the temperature to 0.0 degrees celsius.There are more methods but I want to try them myself! I just am confused as to how to start this program because I dont know what should go in the Temperature (float) method!v

Post the code that you have so far.

I've changed your topic title. "Beginner Java question" is not a title, it tells us nothing about your question.

so far I have

public class Temperature{
	private float celsius;
	private Temperature(float){
		
	}
	private Temperature(){
		celsius=0.0f;
	}
}

but im pretty sure this isnt right which is why I am asking for help, because I am not sure how to start this!

Variables have type and name. Method parameters are variables. So you might want to name the float.

private Temperature(float celsius){
 
    //assign the method parameter to the instance variable
    this.celsius = celsius; 
}

Also, why are your constructors private?
