Java Beginner - Cannot find symbol- variable -

not sure whats causing error here, when enter value in string name upon creation of item.

any appreciated, cause im pretty stuck @ moment

public class item {     double itemcode;     string itemname;     double itemprice;      public item(){     }      public item(double code, string name, double price){         itemcode = code;         itemname = name;         itemprice = price;      }      public string getcode(){         return string.valueof(itemcode);     }      public void setcode(double itemcode){             this.itemcode = itemcode;         }      public string getfirstname(){         return itemname;     }      public void setfirstname(string itemname){             this.itemname = itemname;         }      public string getprice(){         return string.valueof(itemprice);     }      public void setprice(double itemprice){             this.itemprice = itemprice;         }      public string tostring(){         return (string.valueof(itemcode) + ": " + itemname + ", £" + string.valueof(itemprice));     } } 

correct way initialize object

item item = new item(1.0d,"item",10.0d); 

you cannot variable x

item item = new item(1.0d, x, 10.0d); 

if want value x should

item item = new item(1.0d, "x", 10.0d); 

or

string x = "x"; item item = new item(1.0d, x, 10.0d);
