```
    private boolean isValid(int aRating)
{                     

  return aRating >= 1 && aRating <= 10;

}

                or

    private boolean isValid(int aRating)
{                     

  if (aRating >=1 && aRating <=100
      return true;
  else
      return false

}

```

I now need to Write a method setRating(aRating) that sets the rating to aRating IF it is valid. So i am assuming that i need to use the method above in a public method to check if it is valid. If it is valid i then need to set rating = to aRating. So far my idea has been this:

```
    public void setRating(int aRating)
{
   if (isValid() == true)
       rating = aRating;

}

```

But i cannot use isValid as a == to true because it is a method. i also try using isValid(); in order to just try and use the method but it wont allow because of the (int aRating) at the top. If i do not have the identifier it then wont allow me to use aRating at all...

Now that it is 

```
public void setRating(int aRating)
     {
       if (isValid(aRating))
          rating = aRating;
     }

```

I need to make a setRating() method that allows the user to input something from the keyboard and again it has to be valid, i keep getting an error because it says i cant overload SetRating(int aRating) Twice, which i understand. But if i try to take the int part out it is invalid because it needs a parameter. this is what i have

```
    public void setRating()
{
    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
  if (isValid(aRating))
      rating = keyboard.nextInt();
}

```
