i need to write a method that in my program student object for the student class that validates it's own data.
background on student class:
it's a program that ask for a name of a student and 3 test scores and print the highest , the lowest and the average.

You just said the solution:
The method will have as argument a String.
If it is empty return a message (String)
else return null (a String can be null)
Use the trim and length method to do the checking.
Check the String API for these methods
