public class Display {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your code here...
BlogPost blog= new blog();
System.out.printf("This is a blog post: %s", blog);
}
}
How can I get rid of this error?
./Display.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
BlogPost blog= new blog();
^
symbol: class blog
location: class Display

(the caret is highlighting the "b" in the "new blog")

28,558 PointsThe word following new
has to be the name of the class being instantiated. Since the name of the class is BlogPost
it is incorrect to use the word blog
.
If you change it to BlogPost
like this:
BlogPost blog = new BlogPost();
Then that should fix the error you are receiving.
