7,277 PointsI cannot think of logical error in the code. The challenge is to keep the first letter m and second letter be upper case
Please find my code attached and let me know if you did not get my question.
public class TeacherAssistant {
public static String validatedFieldName(String fieldName) {
// These things should be verified:
// 1. Member fields must start with an 'm'
// 2. The second letter in the field name must be uppercased to ensure camel-casing
// NOTE: To check if something is not equal use the != symbol. eg: 3 != 4
if(fieldName.charAt(0) != 'm') {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Member field should start with an m");
}
fieldName = fieldName.replace(fieldName.charAt(1),Character.toUpperCase(fieldName.charAt(1)));
return fieldName;
}
}

The instructions ask for you to validate.
"...Let's write some code to validate the style of the field name ... If the value passed in doesn't meet the requirements, throw an IllegalArgumentException."
Therefore, you need to test for both of the requirements and not use replace.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Chris
