I get what im supposed to do in theory, but im not sure about the syntax. Couldn't find an answer in the forums.

Like the question says, so I'm supposed to write a method which returns the words of the body of the blog using the regular expression pattern to identify the words, but im not sure about the syntax. Any help would be great, thanks in advance

I'd prefer to see your attempt, so I can better help you, but here is what I came up with:

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