Package BlogPost compiler error

I get a compiler error but the creation of the BlogPost object looks correct to me. Compiler error below.

./com/example/BlogPost.java:3: error: '{' expected public class BlogPost(){

com/example/BlogPost.java 
package com.example;

public class BlogPost(){
}
Display.java 
import com.example.BlogPost;

public class Display {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Your code here...
    BlogPost blog = new BlogPost();
    System.out.printf("This is a blog post: %s", blog);

  }
}

Maybe try removing the () parentheses in this file:

package com.example;

public class BlogPost(){
}

If you remove them, I believe it should look like this:

package com.example;

public class BlogPost {
}

:point_right: Remember: You only use parentheses when calling/defining methods!

If this helped you out, please mark it as a Bets answer. Thank you!
