Why is my System.out.println not working? Also this is not the main class and when i try to access it from the main class i don't get the output

the code isn't giving the output

public class Init{

    private String clientName;
    private String clientNumber;
    private double balance;
 
    public Init(ASCIIDataFile file){
    
        clientNumber = file.readString();
        clientName = file.readString();
        balance = file.readDouble();
    } 




 public String getClientName(){
  System.out.println(clientName);  // `not working`  
    return clientName;  
  }
}

You are missing this. in constructor therefore clientName in getClientName() is empty

Your constructor should be like this:

    public Init(ASCIIDataFile file){

        this.clientNumber = file.readString();
        this.clientName = file.readString();
        this.balance = file.readDouble();
    }
