6,037 PointsWhat's wrong with this toString method?
@Override public String toString(){ return "\"BlogPost: TITLE by AUTHOR\""; }
package com.example;
import java.util.Date;
public class BlogPost {
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;
}
@Override
public String toString(){
return "\"BlogPost: TITLE by AUTHOR\"";
}
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;
}
}

5,604 PointsHi there! for this question they are asking for you to send back a formatted string rather than the actual words "title" and "author". They should probably clarify this question a bit.
@Override
public String toString(){
return String.format("\"BlogPost: %s by %s\"", mTitle, mAuthor);
}
