public String toString()
{
String output = "Name: " + firstName + " "
+ lastName + " ";
output += "Location: " + location + " ";
output += "Age: " + age + " ";
output += "Phone number: " + phoneNumber + " ";
output += "Status: ";

if (status == OFFLINE)
{
output += "Offline";
}
else
{
output += "Online";
}
return output;
}
}

Explanation / Answer

The methods exist. Are you remembering to use parentheses to call the method?

ProfileInformation p = new ProfileInformation("A", "Name");
System.out.println(p.getLocation());
System.out.println(p.getPhoneNumber());
