13,483 PointsCan't seem to figure out validation for this task
I can pass task 1, however upon checking my work on task 2 it says 'Task 1 is no longer passing', yet it should be. When I go back to task 1, and check code, it passes... I have no clue what is wrong here, please help me out! :)
public class Order {
private String itemName;
private int priceInCents;
private String discountCode;
public Order(String itemName, int priceInCents) {
this.itemName = itemName;
this.priceInCents = priceInCents;
}
public String getItemName() {
return itemName;
}
public int getPriceInCents() {
return priceInCents;
}

return discountCode;

for(char i : discountCode.toCharArray()) {
if(!Character.isLetter(i) || i != '$') {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid discount code.");
}

return discountCode.toUpperCase();

public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// This is here just for example use cases.
Order order = new Order(

// These are valid. They are letters and the $ character only
order.applyDiscountCode("abc");
order.getDiscountCode(); // ABC
order.applyDiscountCode("$ale");
order.getDiscountCode(); // $ALE
try {
// This will throw an exception because it contains numbers
order.applyDiscountCode("ABC123");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println(iae.getMessage()); // Prints "Invalid discount code"
}
try {
// This will throw as well, because it contains a symbol.
order.applyDiscountCode("w@w");
}catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println(iae.getMessage()); // Prints "Invalid discount code"
}
}
