Hi,
I can't seem to figure out how to solve the fourth step in the code challange:
After you uncomment the code in Main.java and Forum.java, fix the code as described in the comments of Main.java. The code in main is attempting to use the code you just fixed.
'''java public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Beginning forum example"); if (args.length < 2) { System.out.println("Usage: java Main <first name> <last name>"); System.err.println("<first name> and <last name> are required"); System.exit(1); }
Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
// TODO: pass in the first name and last name that are in the args parameter
User author = new User();
// TODO: initialize the forum post with the user created above and a title and description of your choice
ForumPost post = new ForumPost();
forum.addPost(post);
// */ }
} '''

4,883 PointsThis is the code I used, however it comes up with an error stating that it cannot find the "." symbol in forum.addPost(post);
Why is this?
./Main.java:15: error: cannot find symbol forum.addPost(post); ^ symbol: method addPost(ForumPost) location: variable forum of type Forum Note: JavaTester.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. 1 error
