1,257 PointsConstructor field First Name of the User Class I put the First Name in the Constructor field as well as the last name.
The code wants me to put the first name constructor in the user class. I believe I already did that in the Constructor. I don't know what else need to be done to get though Challenge Task 2 of 4. Thanks for help in advance.
public class Forum {
private String topic;
// TODO: add a constructor that accepts a topic and sets the private field topic
public Forum(String topic){
this.topic = topic;
}
public String getTopic() {
return topic;
}
/* Uncomment this when you are prompted to do so
public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
System.out.printf("A new post in %s topic from %s %s about %s is available",
topic,
post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
post.getTitle()
);
}
*/
}
public class User {
// TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
// TODO: set and add the private fields
this.fistName = fistName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
// TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName
public String getfirstName(){
return firstName;
}
public String getlastName(){
return lastName;
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Willard! You just have two typos and two capitalization errors.
You typed this:
this.fistName = fistName;
But that should be:
this.firstName = firstName;
Note the difference between "fist" and "first".
Secondly when we "camel case" our getters and setters, the word immediately after the "get" and "set" part should be capitalized. So that should be getFirstName
and getLastName
. Check your capitalization on these.
Hope this helps!
