Answer 1

class Weapon{
    private String name;
    private int maxDamage;

    public Weapon(){
        name = "Pointy Strick";
        maxDamage = 2;
    }

    public Weapon(String wname, int wmaxDamage){
        name = wname;
        maxDamage = wmaxDamage;
    }

    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String newName){
        name = newName;
    }

    public int getMaxDamage(){
        return maxDamage;
    }

    public void setMaxDamage(int newMaxDamage){
        maxDamage = newMaxDamage;
    }
}
