Quick question about new object

[Julio Ibanez]

I'm trying to create two classes. One with 3 methods. I'm trying to make all variables and methods static. My problem is on line score = new score() it tells me that cannot resolve symbol class score.
Can anyone shine a light on my problem? Please? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.... Thanks for any help you can give me.

public class TestScore 
   {
     private static double score;
     public static double readScore() throws Exception
{
  char input;
  String strInput;
  double value;
 
  System.out.println ("Enter the Value: /n(Enter x to Exit) ");
 
  while (input != 'x')
  {
    input = (char)System.in.read();
    strInput = strInput + input;
  }
 
          value = Double.parseDouble (strInput);
 
  return value;

        }
   
  
  public static void setScore(double score)
  {
    score = new score(); // Here is where i get the error 
        }
   
  public static double getScore()
  {
    return score;
   }
   }
  
public class TestAverage extends TestScore
   {
     private static double numberOfScores;
 
     public static void main (String [] arqs)
{
  System.out.println ("Enter the number of scores to be calculated: ");
 
  numberOfScores = readScore();
 
  System.out.println ("The Average is: " + Average());
}

     public static double Average()
{
  setScore(0.0);

  for (int counter = 0; counter < numberOfScores; counter++)
    {
       setScore(getScore() + readScore());
    }

    return getScore() / numberOfScores;
}
   }

Where do you define your "score" class? You seem to have a private primative double called score, but I don't see a score class which you could instantiate?

  public static void setScore(double score)
  {
    score = new score(); // Here is where i get the error 
  
        }

Try this instead

public static void setScore(double newScore){
    score = newScore;
}
