- In your charactersLeft function, you should use
MAX_CHARACTER
constant you've previously defined, because there's no symbol namedMAX_CHAR
- you don't need a local variable within the function, you can directly return the result of the subtraction.
public int charactersLeft() {
return MAX_CHARACTER - mText.length();
}
