7,488 PointsJava Data Structures last challenge cant use setTtitle method
I am stuck in this challenge because i cant set the new title of the video, i dont know how to use the setTitle method from the Video class.
I think the problem is when i get the value of the video from the TreeMap that it returns an object but im not sure.
Any help would be appreciated.
package com.example.model;
import java.util.List;
public class Course {
private String mName;
private List<Video> mVideos;
public Course(String name, List<Video> videos) {
mName = name;
mVideos = videos;
}
public String getName() {
return mName;
}
public List<Video> getVideos() {
return mVideos;
}
}
package com.example.model;
public class Video {
private String mTitle;
public Video(String title) {
mTitle = title;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
mTitle = title;
}
}
import com.example.model.Course;
import com.example.model.Video;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.TreeMap;
public class QuickFix {
Map videosHash = new TreeMap();
public void addForgottenVideo(Course course) {
// TODO(1): Create a new video called "The Beginning Bits"
Video video = new Video("The Beginning Bits");
// TODO(2): Add the newly created video to the course videos as the second video.
List<Video> videos = course.getVideos();
videos.add(1, video);
}
public void fixVideoTitle(Course course, String oldTitle, String newTitle) {
videosByTitle(course);
Object obj = videosHash.getKey(oldTitle); // Get the value of the map, not the key
obj.setTitle(newTitle); //Cant set video title, how to use setTitle method?
}
public Map<String, Video> videosByTitle(Course course) {
for (Video video : course.getVideos()) {
videosHash.put(video.getTitle(), video);
}
return videosHash;
}
}

7,488 PointsThe problem was i was using TreeMap instead of HashMap.
Here is how it passed in the end:
import com.example.model.Course;
import com.example.model.Video;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.HashMap;
public class QuickFix {
public void addForgottenVideo(Course course) {
// TODO(1): Create a new video called "The Beginning Bits"
Video video = new Video("The Beginning Bits");
// TODO(2): Add the newly created video to the course videos as the second video.
List<Video> videos = course.getVideos();
videos.add(1, video);
}
public void fixVideoTitle(Course course, String oldTitle, String newTitle) {
videosByTitle(course).get(oldTitle).setTitle(newTitle);
}
public Map<String, Video> videosByTitle(Course course) {
Map<String, Video> videosHash = new HashMap();
for (Video video : course.getVideos()) {
videosHash.put(video.getTitle(), video);
}
return videosHash;
}
}

7,488 PointsI changed the code a bit in the fixVideoTitle method inside QuickFix.java, like this:
And also changed the way i was declaring the MapTree variable, like this:
public Map<String, Video> videosHash = new TreeMap<String, Video>();
And so now im getting this error:
Bummer! Hmmm...I found the old value 'Typo Casting' and the new value 'Type Casting'. You should 'get' the video from the map and update the video using 'setTitle'
What is wrong with this code?
