I'm not sure what is wrong with my code, but I seem to be having a lot of trouble applying what we've learned in workspace and the video to what is expected of me in the challenge because it doesn't seem to aways correlate. Any suggestions?
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() {
return mBlogPost.toLowerCase().split("[^\\s#@']+");
}
}

public String[] getWords() {
return mBody.split("\\s+");
}
