3,377 PointsErrors aren't making sense
The errors don't match the code I have. Not sure what to fix when the errors don't match up.
package com.example;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
public class BlogPost implements Comparable<BlogPost>, Serializable {
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 int compareTo(BlogPost other) {
if (equals(other)) {
return 0;
}
return mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate);
}
public String[] getWords() {
return mBody.split("\\s+");
}
public List<String> getExternalLinks() {
List<String> links = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String word : getWords()) {

23,733 PointsI see an error in the getAllAuthors()
in your Blog.java file. Your loop variable post
is of type Blog
but you're looping over mPosts
which is a list of BlogPost
objects. Change the loop to:
public Set<String> getAllAuthors() {
Set<String> authors = new TreeSet<>();
for (BlogPost post: mPosts) {
authors.add(post.getAuthor());
}
return authors;
}
I also see some problems in the getCategoryCounts()
method. Take another good look it.

3,377 PointsYeah I realized I changed that, must've been a slip of the fingers while typing. All good now, thanks! :)
