11,958 PointsErrors in my code
Hi, I've followed Craig step by step and also unterstand everything, I have the same code in my workspace, but I still get 2 compiler errors(1. ArrayList<Song> cannot be converted to List<String>, 2. no suitable method found for add(Song)). Could someone help me? Thank you! Here's my code: Song.java
package com.teamtreehouse.model;
public class Song {
private String mArtist;
private String mTitle;
private String mVideoUrl;
public Song(String artist, String title, String videoUrl) {
mArtist = artist;
mTitle = title;
mVideoUrl = videoUrl;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public String getArtist() {
return mArtist;
}
public String getVideoUrl() {
return mVideoUrl;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return String.format("Song: %s by %s", mTitle, mArtist);
}
}
SongBook.java
package com.teamtreehouse.model;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class SongBook {
private List<String> mSongs;
public SongBook() {
mSongs = new ArrayList<Song>();
}
public void addSong(Song song) {
mSongs.add(song);
}
public int getSongCount() {
return mSongs.size();
}
}
Karaoke.java
import com.teamtreehouse.model.Song;
import com.teamtreehouse.model.SongBook;
public class Karaoke {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Song song = new Song(
"Michael Jackson",
"Beat It",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaEC9i9QOvk");
SongBook songBook = new SongBook();
System.out.printf("Adding %s %n", song);
songBook.addSong(song);
System.out.printf("There are %d songs. %n", songBook.getSongCount());
}
}

class, you declare mSongs
to be a List<String> then in the constructor you assign to it an ArrayList<Song>. The conversion error is due to the different <String> vs <Song> types. Fix by change the member type:
public class SongBook {
private List<Song> mSongs; // <-- fix type as <Song>
public SongBook() {
mSongs = new ArrayList<Song>();
}
