compiling Java error, cannot get constructor working
<p>I am trying to code a simple bit of java but i cannot get it to compile
I have defined the objects within my class as so</p>

<pre><code>    public class teams
    {
      public char sponsor;
      public char tires;
</code></pre>

<p>I am trying to set the default value of class sponsor to N/A</p>

<pre><code>      public teams()
      {
      this.sponsor = "N/A";
      }
</code></pre>

<p>Can anyone figure out why it wont work? Im fairly new to java and i know this is probably extremely simple, any help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>EDIT
So thanks to Kevin Esche, I managed to get it to compile by using,<br>
this.sponsor = 'N';</p>

<p>How would I get the term N/A instead of just N? Would I use unicode?, and if yes how do you format it?</p>
