What's wrong here?

Code should be attached

Hi Casey,

I believe the checkbox to attach your code is currently having a problem. Can you post the code you're trying?

Try putting your import statement above your Display class.

Next you need a name for your new BlogPost instance.

BlogPost blog = new BlogPost();

Additionally, your printf statement does not have an argument for %s.

For example, if you had a method getTitle() for a BlogPost object (blog), and you wanted to put the BlogPost title as the argument, you would do something like this....

System.out.printf("This is a blog post: %s", blog.getTitle());

Hope this helps!

changed from comment to answer

In this case the BlogPost class is empty so you should only pass in the BlogPost object.

Code's attached here:

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

you should probably rewatch the past lessons if you dont know where to put an import or how to create objects...

The import statement should be the first statement in your code.

My error is "cannot find symbol." Here's my latest code: import com.example.BlogPost; public class Display { public static void main(String[] args) { // Your code here... BlogPost blog = new BlogPost(); System.printf("This is a blog post: %s", blog); } }

You wrote System.printf. It's System.out.printf
