This is what I used to pass the challenge:

package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost implements Comparable{ private String mAuthor; private String mTitle; private String mBody; private String mCategory; private Date mCreationDate;

public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) { mAuthor = author; mTitle = title; mBody = body; mCategory = category; mCreationDate = creationDate; }

public String[] getWords() { return mBody.split("\s+"); }

public String getAuthor() { return mAuthor; }

public String getTitle() { return mTitle; }

public String getBody() { return mBody; }

@Override public int compareTo(Object obj) { return 1; }

public String getCategory() { return mCategory; }

public Date getCreationDate() { return mCreationDate; } }
