31,722 PointsIn the method "addContactMethod(String method, String value)" fill in the code that would add the value to the mContactMethods Map.
Remember you add items with the put method
map.put(key, value);

Courses Plus Student 2,339 PointsThanks. Wrote this line of code but still couldnt compile or run the code.

31,722 PointsYou don't want to write what I wrote exactly, you want to use the name of your map mContactMethods, with the method string as the key, and the value string as the value.
Here is what you would write for your code
public void addContactMethod(String method, String value) {
mContactMethods.put(method, value);
}
