In one of my eclipse classes I have a parameter that is a string with the variable thing name
public Turtle(int size, double x, double y, String name)

I have "name" set as a data member
private String name;

I assigned name parameter to the name data member like this:
name = this.name;

Is there something wrong with this code?
For what I'm doing it is not working correctly and giving me a "null" in the console for the said names of the turtles (I set the turtle names in my gui class)

These forums are for questions specific to using Eclipse, not general programming help. That said, your assignment statement is doing the reverse of what you're intending--you have the left and right sides opposite of what is needed.
