following code executing , getting error on line 14
type mismatch: cannot convert string timelimit

timeexpirydate declared in code string. expirydate declared timelimit.
you have line
expirydate = timeexpirydate; which not compile because trying assign string reference timelimit reference.
you need write sort of conversion method takes string , creates timelimit it. can utility method somewhere or timelimit(string timerepresentation) constructor in timelimit class. example write
expirydate = new timelimit(timeexpirydate); or
expirydate = someclass.converttotimelimit(timeexpirydate); java not c++ (in case that's you're used to). java not automatically call "conversion" constructor c++ does. if have defined timelimit(string) constructor, java not auto-call conversion. need explicitly call it.
but in event, there no way assignment without you writing conversion method somewhere , calling it.
