I have the following error message:

cannot find symbol-constructor Person(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,Date)

I have this message in realtion to the following clone constructor:

public class Employee extends Person
{
    //instance variables
    protected int id;
    protected Date start;
    protected float salary;
 
    //start constructors
    public Employee()
    {
      super();
      id=0;
      salary=0;
      start=new Date(); //set the date to the current date
 
 
    }
 
    public Employee(String nme, char sex, Date dob, int number, Date start)
    {
       super (nme, sex, dob);
       id=number;
       start= new Date(start);
       salary=0;
    }
 
    //clone constructor: produces a clone of another object of the same type.    
 
    public Employee (Employee other)
    {
       [COLOR="red"] super(other.name, other.gender, other.dateOfBirth);[/COLOR]
        salary=other.salary;
        id=other.id;
        start=new Date(other.start);
    }

I think I have this message,because in class person gender is a char.
Below is my class person constructor coding:


public class Person
{
    // instance variables 
    protected String name;
    protected String gender;
    protected Date dateOfBirth;
    protected String address;
    protected String natInsceNo;
    protected String phoneNo;
 
    private static int counter=0;
 
    // start of constructor
    public Person()
    {   
        name= " ";
        gender=" ";
        dateOfBirth = new Date (00,00,00);
        address= " ";
        natInsceNo=" ";
        phoneNo=" ";
        counter++;
    }
 
 
  public Person (String nme, char sex, Date dob)
  {
 
        name=nme;
        gender=Character.toString(sex);
        dateOfBirth=dob;
        phoneNo=" ";
 
        if(address !=null){
            System.out.println(address);
        }
        else{
            System.out.println("You must enter your address");
        }
 
        if(natInsceNo !=null){
            System.out.println(natInsceNo);
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("You must enter your National Insurance Number");
        }
 
 
        counter++;
      }

How can i resolve this? I cannot change the variable types in class person because the specification has asked for the gender to be declared as string then converted to char. I need help modifying the clone constructor in class employee.

Please can someone advise me how to correct this.
