2,605 PointsIn java I am having trouble with my code
Challenge Task 2 of 2 Let's let them know how many characters they have left to use...so they can jam them full of hashtags #jklol
Create a public method named getRemainingCharacterCount that returns an int representing how many characters they have left before they 140. Base your calculation on the field that stores the current text.
I am not sure what is wrong. Thanks!
public class Tweet {
private String mText;
public static final int MAX_CHARS = 140;
public Tweet(String text) {
while(text.length() < MAX_CHARS){
mText = text;
}
public String getText() {
return mText;
}
public int getRemainingCharacterCount () {
int getRemainingCharacterCount = MAX_CHAR - mText.length();
return getRemainingCharacterCount;
}
}
}

10,317 PointsIn your method "getRemainingCharacterCount" you are using the variable MAX_CHAR instead of MAX_CHARS. Hope this helps
