Constructor Item in class Item cannot be applied to given types;

Question

So I am very new to Java... been at it for about 4 weeks... be gentle.

I am trying to get my takeItem method (below) to pass the itemName variable back to my Player Class so I can add an item from my current room to my player. I get the compiler error: Constructor Item in class Item cannot be applied to given types..

my end goal is to get the player class to hold the object after removing it from the room.

takeItem Method:

private void takeItem(Command command) 
{

    if(!command.hasSecondWord()) {
        // if there is no second word, we don't know where to go...
        System.out.println("Take what?");
        System.out.println();
        return;
    }

    String itemName = command.getSecondWord();
    Item theItem;
    // Try to take an item.
    theItem = new Item(player.getCurrentRoom().removeItem(itemName));


    if (theItem == null) 
    {
        System.out.println("There is no item!");
    }
    else 
    { 
        player.addItem(theItem);
        player.getItemsCarried();//print item info
    }

Player Class:

//above code omitted//
public void setCurrentRoom(Room room)
{
 currentRoom = room;
}

public Room getCurrentRoom()
{
 return currentRoom;
}

//code below omitted//


 public void addItem (Item thingy)
 {

     items.put(thingy.getName(), thingy);

 }

  //code below omitted//

Item Class:

public class Item
{
  // instance variables - replace the example below with your own
  private String name;
  private String description;
  private int weight;

   /**
  * Constructor for objects of class Item
  */
  public Item(String n, String d, int w)
  {
  name = n;
  description = d;
  weight = w;
  }
 //code below omitted//

Room Class:

public class Room 
{
private String description;
private HashMap <String, Room> exits;
private HashMap <String, Item> items;
//some code below omitted//


 public Room (String description) 
 {
    this.description = description;
    exits = new HashMap<>();
    items = new HashMap<>();
  }


public void addItem (Item thingy)
{
    items.put(thingy.getName(), thingy);
}

public String removeItem(String thingy)
{
    items.remove(thingy);
    return thingy;

}
//code below omitted

Answer 1

Your constructor in the Item class takes two String parameters and one int, but you are trying to create a new Item by passing in only one String (whatever is returned by the removeItem() method). You can either change the removeItem() method so that it returns the Item that is removed, in which case you should change

theItem = new Item(player.getCurrentRoom().removeItem(itemName));

to

theItem = player.getCurrentRoom().removeItem(itemName);

or you can create a new Item with the necessary parameters.
