71,830 PointsJarvis, good start, but it's probably best to create a new variable for the result of the cast, and you need to finish the if... else... Note that the second return statement replaces the return 0:
public int compareTo(Object obj) {
BlogPost other = (BlogPost) obj;
if (equals(other)) {
return 0;
} else {
return mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate);
}
}
