With your code I get the following error:
Bummer! Your method returns 0. Do you have a loop that iterates over the declared methods of clazz
, keeping a count of the ones where isAnnotationPresent
is true?
It looks like we need to declare a counter variable and then use a for loop to loop through each method of clazz
. If a given method is indeed annotated we should increment our counter and in the end return our counter, correct?
See if that gets you headed in the right direction and post back if you have further questions. You are so close to completing the course I don't want to give it away too soon.
Happy coding,
Ken
