I have a if statement that checks if stupplier varified and if it is then return the name of the supplier which is LMP Limited. From the basic knowledge I have, I implemented the following code:

What is the type of "companyInfo"? The type of this reference should be the class in which the method "setSupplier" is defined. (Or if you are overriding the method, it could also be a supertype of that class.)

I see that setSupplier is in the file company.java, so I might assume that the class is also "company." But whatever that class is called, that should be the type of the variable "companyInfo."

As Mark pointed it out,check the type of the variable "Company info"

and also check that you have written a method setSupplier which takes a String as parameter.

You might have written setSupplier with any other paramater.
