Is this a bug!?

Question

Hi, I have checked the forum for this question and found other people had this same problem. It's not letting me go to the next step even though I am near certain it is correct. In the other answers to this question it talks about something called m prefix, but does't specify how to get past the step. Help would be very appreciated.

this is the question: n User.java, add private fields to store firstName and lastName, and initialize them in the provided constructor. Add public getters for firstName and lastName.

public class User { // TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName private String firstName; private String lastName;

public User(String firstName, String lastName) { // TODO: set and add the private fields this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; }

// TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName public String getfirstName() { return firstName; }

public String getLastName() { return lastName; } }

Hi,

since the code you provided isn't formatted I will state the obvious first:

The code you wrote is not commented, is it?

So your code looks like this?:

public class User {
        // TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName
        private String firstName;
        private String lastName;

        public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
            // TODO: set and add the private fields
            this.firstName = firstName;
            this.lastName = lastName;
        }

        // TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName
        public String getfirstName() { return firstName; }

        public String getLastName() { return lastName; } 
    }

If it looks like this, then the only thing I could think of is the getter method for the first name

Use correct camelCase --> getFirstName()

If this isn't the solution, please provide the error message and/or format your code.

PS: You can use backticks like this to have a nicely formatted code block.

```java

Here goes your code

```
