Java Java Objects (Retired) Creating the MVP Remaining Characters

Welcome to a little Twitter-like application. Here I'm modeling a Tweet. It has text which is the body of the tweet. All Tweets have a maximum character limit of 140 characters.

Please add a new constant to store the maximum number of characters allowed which is 140. Use the proper access level modifiers to make it unchangeable and accessible right off of the class. Follow the proper naming convention.

Tweet.java 
public class Tweet {
  private String mTweet;

  public Tweet(String tweet){
    mTweet= tweet;
  }

  public String getTweet() {
    return mTweet;
  }

}
