Hi Irwan, I am writing
this
letter to give you pieces of advice about a problem at work that I had in the past. First of all, the null problem in Java is very common;
therefore
, sometimes we don’t realize the mistake. It can be caused by a faulty decoder or encoder if you want to translate the value. Another thing that can happen is caused by no constructor for the class that you want to assign.
To begin
with, I had the same issue in the past. I forgot to create a constructor for the class which should consist of the value.
Moreover
, the error logs did not show me the root of the problem. It confused me since I had already checked the flow of the logic; yet, nothing was wrong. From my experience, you can try to put some logging on Java codes;
therefore
, you can check every value on your codes by logging it manually every line.
On the other hand
, there is a debugger, which can be built into a framework to detect the root cause easily. I hope the best for you, I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours Sincerely, Stevin.

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
