I have added the required method , do not have any compiler errors . What is the problem ?
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 title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
mAuthor = author;
mTitle = title;
mBody = body;
mCategory = category;
mCreationDate = creationDate;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public String getBody() {
return mBody;
}
public String getCategory() {
return mCategory;
}
public Date getCreationDate() {
return mCreationDate;
}
public String[] getWords (String body){
return body.split("[\\s+]");
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're really close here, so I'm going to leave some hints. But the big reason it's not even detecting your method is because the arity/signature of the function is incorrect.
- The method should have no parameters
- The method should split on mBody
- The square brackets are unnecessary and will cause a compiler error inside the split() arguments
I think you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck!
