I do not understand the task on this challenge

Can someone reword this challenge for me? Not sure what to do.

com/example/model/Course.java
package com.example.model;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.HashSet;

public class Course {
  private String mTitle;
  private Set<String> mTags;

  public Course(String title) {
    mTitle = title;
    // TODO: initialize the set mTags

    mTags = new HashSet<String>();
  }

  public void addTag(String tag) {
    // TODO: add the tag
  }

  public void addTags(List<String> tags) {
    // TODO: add all the tags passed in
  }

  public boolean hasTag(String tag) {
    // TODO: Return whether or not the tag has been added
    return false;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

}

Hi Stacy,

you already initialized the Set. The challenge now wants you to implement the addTag method. You have to add the tag, that is coming in to the method as a parameter, to the mTags set.

Kind Regards, Florian
