Answer 1

1. rename your class
2. add import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
3. add property webdriver.chrome.driver

Code:

package selenium;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;

public class Gayatri {

    public static String chromedriverPath = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\resources\\chromedriver.exe";   

    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String browserName = "chrome";

        WebDriver driver = null;

        if (browserName.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")) {

            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromedriverPath);
            driver = new ChromeDriver();

        } else if (browserName.equalsIgnoreCase("edgebrowser")) {

            driver = new EdgeDriver();

        }
        
        driver.get("https://www.stackoverflow.com");
        System.out.print(driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
        
    }

}

Output:
