Courses Plus Student 5,457 PointsWhy Bummer: Uh oh, fatal exception occurred?
The code passes compliation but the challenge is returning 'Bummer: Uh oh, fatal exception occurred'. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong in the getRemainingCharacterCount method?
class Tweet {
public static final int MAX_CHARS=140;
private String text;
public Tweet(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
public int getRemainingCharacterCount() {
return MAX_CHARS - text.length();
}
}

I've heard browsers can sometimes cause false failures. Try restarting your browser.
If that doesn't fix it, the challenge itself might not be working. I've seen other questions today about Java challenges where the code seemed fine. You might try submitting a bug report to the Support staff.
