}

package drugstore;

public class Client {
    private String fio = ""; 
    private String address = ""; 
    private String telephone = ""; 
    private String additional_information = ""; 
    private String account = ""; 
    private String password = ""; 
    private int client_id; 

 Client(int client_id){
     this.client_id = client_id;

 }

    public void setClientId(int client_id){
        this.client_id = client_id;
    }
    public void setFio(String fio){
        this.fio = fio;
    }
    public void setAddress(String address){
        this.address = address;
    }
    public void setTelephone(String telephone){
        this.telephone = telephone;
    }
    public void setAdditionalInformation(String additional_information){
        this.additional_information = additional_information;
    }
    public void setAccount(String account){
        this.account = account;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password){
        this.password = password;
    }
}

When performing the program we receive necessary error.
