We're setting the character limit; that's not a char
it is an int
:
public static final int MAX_CHARACTER_LIMIT = 140;
or
public static final int MAX_STRING_LENGTH = 140;
We can then use that int
to make sure there are not more char
's than that by testing the length of the submitted string.
Make sense?
Steve.
