I'm on the last part of this challenge but i can't find a solution.
public class Forum {
private String topic;
// TODO: add a constructor that accepts a topic and sets the private field topic
public Forum (String topic){
this.topic = topic;
}
public String getTopic() {

}
Uncomment this when you are prompted to do so
public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
System.out.printf("A new post in %s topic from %s %s about %s is available",
topic,
post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
post.getTitle()
);

}
// TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName

Uncomment this when prompted
Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
// TODO: pass in the first name and last name that are in the args parameter
User author = new User(args[0], args[1]);
// TODO: initialize the forum post with the user created above and a title and description of your choice

In Forum.java you have the line "Uncomment this when you are prompted to do so" above the addPost method which you should remove or comment out.
In Forum.java you have left the end of block comment symbols "*/" below the addPost method, you need to remove that.
In Main.java above the line where you instantiate the Forum object you have this line "Uncomment this when prompted" which needs to be commented out or removed.
After fixing those three issues your code should run fine.
