Java Java Data Structures - Retired Getting There Class Review

Getting: "Did you create a new constructor that accepts author, body, category and creation date?"

Is the method signature intended to be: public BlogPost(String author, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {} ?

My current thought is that might variable names aren't matching up with what's expected.

com/example/BlogPost.java 
package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {
  private String mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mBody;
  private String mCategory;
  private Date mCreationDate;

  public BlogPost(String author, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mBody = body;
    mCategory = category;
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }
}

Hi Jason

Your code is good only you forgot to add in the title into the constructor. The challenge asks for all 5 variables to be passed in. Add the title in and you should pass.
