9,994 PointsStuck on Part 2 of 2 Remaining Objects No matter how I try I can't get this one.
This seems like it should be very similar to the getRemainingTries() method in the video. No matter if I try Tweet.length or text.length I get a compiler error.
public class Tweet {
private String text;
public static final int MAX_CHARS = 140;
public Tweet(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
public int getRemainingCharacterCount(){
int getRemainingCharacterCount = MAX_CHARS - Tweet.length;
return getRemainingCharacterCount;
}
}

You were close with text.length
but you need a set of parentheses after length
