I have been comparing my code to the video and I simply cannot find where I am making a mistake. During compiling I get the following error:
Example.java:25: error: cannot find symbol
Arrays.sort(treets);
^
symbol: variable Arrays
location: class Example
1 error
Below is a copy of my code:
import java.util.Date;
import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Treet treet = new Treet(
"craigsdennis",
"Want to be famous? Simply tweet about Java and use the hashtag #treet" +
"I'll use your tweet in a new" +
"Bla bla bla",
new Date(1421851405000L)
);
Treet secondTreet = new Treet(
"journeytocode",
"@treehouse makes learning Java sooooo fun! #treet",
new Date(1421878767000L)
);
System.out.printf("This is a new Treet: %s %n", treet);
System.out.println("The words are:");
for (String word: treet.getWords()) {
System.out.println(word);
}
Treet[] treets = {treet, secondTreet};
Arrays.sort(treets);
for (Treet exampleTreet : treets) {
System.out.println(exampleTreet);
}
}
}

import java.util.Arrays;
at the top of your Example.java
file.

57,712 PointsDo you need an import
for Arrays
? (I'm checking!!)

12,026 PointsO snap! Thank you so much Steve. I have been going slightly mad staring at that line 25, completely overlooked the import.
