Slightly confused on what I'm doing wrong here. I'm getting the same errors even if I don't change the code ( JavaTester.java:67: error: illegal start of expression package com.example; ^ JavaTester.java:67: error: not a statement package com.example; ^ JavaTester.java:69: error: illegal start of expression import java.io.Serializable; ^ JavaTester.java:69: error: not a statement import java.io.Serializable; ^ JavaTester.java:70: error: illegal start of expression import java.util.Date; ^ JavaTester.java:70: error: not a statement import java.util.Date; ^ JavaTester.java:72: error: illegal start of expression public class BlogPost implements Comparable, Serializable { ^ 7 errors)
package com.example;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;
public class BlogPost implements Comparable<BlogPost>, Serializable {
private String mAuthor;
private String mTitle;
private String mBody;
private String mCategory;
private Date mCreationDate;
public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
mAuthor = author;
mTitle = title;
mBody = body;
mCategory = category;
mCreationDate = creationDate;
}
public int compareTo(BlogPost other) {
if (equals(other)) {
return 0;
}
return mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate);
}
public String[] getWords() {
return mBody.split("[^\\w']+");
}
public String getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public String getBody() {
return mBody;
}
public String getCategory() {
return mCategory;
}
public Date getCreationDate() {
return mCreationDate;
}
}
