Question

Add a new method named getWords that returns the words from the body of the blog post. Since we don't need to worry about special characters, let's just use the regular expression pattern \s+ (or any one or more white space character) for the parameter to the split method. (Remember to escape the backslash in your Java code.)

I got the correct code and everything but it still doesnt accept. I have been trying for a long time and it still doesnt accept. Please do help me.

com/example/BlogPost.java

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;
  }

  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;
  }
}

This one is confusing. In the code you posted you never added the method getWords. The difficult part though is using the split method with the regex \\s+

  public String[] getWords() {
    String words[] = mBody.split("\\s+");
    return words;
