Unless you hve created your own Object class (a bad idea), the Object class doesn't have a store() method. Yui will have to declare it with the correct type.

Don't know. This is your code; you are writing the classes. That is something you should know.

The class should be called Repository. You can't import instance methods. If you declared repository of type Repository it might work

You need to declare the variable as the type that contains that method. Then you need to assign an instance of that type.

If you don't know how to do any of that, I suggest you read through the Java tutorials.

Please go back to what you were taught at the very first. Please revise the general structure of a class: fields methods and constructors. Why haven't you declared all the fields as private? Why didn't you write a constructor for your class? How does the repository work? How does it match restaurants to their reviews?

I think your questions are all closely related, so I have made a single thre‍ad out of them.

A few minutes ago, I wrote:Please go back to what you were taught at the very first. Please revise the general structure of a class . . .

It would appear we both think you have forgotten the basics of writing a class, and I think that correcting that will correct many of your problems.
