Hello! I've already cleared this challenge but I was confused on one part.
I don't think the exercise intended me to put author as the user because I was supposed to create it above in this code on Main.java but I can't figure out how to do that.
How do I create a user from this code? Above in where?
public class Forum {
private String topic;
// TODO: add a constructor that accepts a topic and sets the private field topic
public String getTopic() {
return topic;
}
public Forum(String topic){
this.topic = topic;
}
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()
);
}
}
public class User {
// TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstname = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
// TODO: set and add the private fields
}
// TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public String getLastName(){
return lastName;
}
}
public class ForumPost {
private User author;
private String title;
private String description;
// TODO: add a constructor that accepts the author, title and description
public ForumPost(User Author, String title, String description){
this.author = author;
this.title = title;
this.description = description;
}
public User getAuthor() {
return author;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Beginning forum example");
if (args.length < 2) {
System.out.println("Usage: java Main <first name> <last name>");
System.err.println("<first name> and <last name> are required");
System.exit(1);
}
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
ForumPost post = new ForumPost(, "Faster than the speed of love", "How to write a crappy book");
forum.addPost(post);
// */
}
}

/*Here you have created a User object called user and in the constructor
you have passed the two string arguments which the constructor is
expecting. Moreover you could create the User objects where ever you
require in the code in future course you would do so.*/
Hope it helps if you have any other queries you could aske me would love to help you out.
