heres my code:

public class auditorForum {
   int pastMonthSpend;

  public auditorForum(int spending){
      spending = pastMonthSpend;
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      auditorForum October = new auditorForum(1433);
      if (October >= 1000) {
        if (October <= 1500){
          System.out.println("Eligible");
        } else {
          System.out.println("Ineligible");
        }
      }
    }
}

It results in

auditorForum.java:9: error: bad operand types for binary operator '>='
      if (October >= 1000) {
                  ^
  first type:  auditorForum
  second type: int
1 error

and im not sure what the fix is, ive tried making separate values for the minimum and maximum values (1000 and 1500) but no

instance class java object

Two mistakes I see and have corrected. please find the below program. October is reference variable for the newly created object. so you should use October.pastMonthSpend and another issue is in a constructor, you have to assign value this way pastMonthSpend=spending;

public class Demo123 {
    int pastMonthSpend;

    public Demo123(int spending){
        pastMonthSpend=spending;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("hii");
        Demo123 October = new Demo123(1433);
        if (October.pastMonthSpend >= 1000) {
            if (October.pastMonthSpend <= 1500){
                System.out.println("Eligible");
            } else {
                System.out.println("Ineligible");
            }
        }
    }
}

"October" is an object instance. You have to access the integer variable "pastMonthSpend" for the comparison. and variable value assigning should be pastMonthSpend = spending; not spending = pastMonthSpend;
