3,766 PointsWhat is wrong with my code in Java Objects final challenge?
I added private String mTopic; public String getTopic() { return mTopic; }
public class ForumPost {
private User mAuthor;
private String mTitle;
private String mDescription;
private String mTopic;
public User getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public String getTopic() {
return mTopic;
}
// TODO: We need to expose the description
}
public class User {
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
// TODO: Set the private fields here
}
}
public class Forum {
private String mTopic;
public String getTopic() {
return mTopic;
}
public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
/* When all is ready uncomment this...
System.out.printf("New post from %s %s about %s.\n",
post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
post.getTitle());
*/
}
}
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Starting forum example...");
if (args.length < 2) {
System.out.println("first and last name are required. eg: java Example Craig Dennis");
}
// Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
// Take the first two elements passed args
// User author = new User();
// Add the author, title and description
// ForumPost post = new ForumPost();
// forum.addPost(post);
}
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsHey Melissa, looks like you did the work in ForumPost.java that should have been done in Forum.java, for the first question they're just asking that you go to the Forum.java tab and add a constructor that takes the topic as an argument.
Public Forum(String topic) {
mTopic = topic;
}
However for the second one that you entered, you need to create the firstName and lastName fields in the User.java
Thanks, let me know if this sorted things out.
