我开始编写自己的类，到目前为止，我有一个作者类，它有两个字符串（名字和姓氏）和两个整数（出生和死亡年份）。现在我编写了另一个类，books，它有一个名为 bookAuthor 的作者对象。所以，这是我的代码，你能帮我修复我的 NullPointerException。
public class Author{
String authorFirstName;
String authorLastName;
int authorBirth;

//creates a new author object with nothing set
public Author(){
}
//String l=last name, String f=frist name

public Author(String l, String f){
authorLastName=l;
authroFirstName=f;

//returns a string that is the first name of the author
public String getFirstName(){
return authorFirstName;

//return a string that is the last name of the author
public String getLastName(){
return authorLastName;

if (b<-2000){
authorBirth=-40000;

//int b,d represent the authors year of birth and death respectively
//returns nothing but sets the authors year of death and birth

.getAuthor() 方法是 Book 类中的一个方法，它返回该书的作者我真正的问题是如何告诉我的程序“如果已设置某些内容，则执行此操作”例如在我的代码中程序如果已为该书设置了标题，则返回标题...此外，如果已设置出版年份，则返回如上所述的标题。
