Hi Nirbhay,

You're close!

  • We can remove that http parameter, since http isn't an argument that's being passed to the getExternalLinks method.

  • We want to put "http" in double quotes when we use it as an argument to the startsWith method, because it is a string literal rather than a variable.

  public List<String> getExternalLinks() {
   List<String> docBody = new ArrayList <String>();
    for(String words : getWords()) {
      if(words.startsWith("http")) {
        docBody.add(words);
      }
    }
    return docBody;
  }

Hope this helps!

hmmm. Yes thnks
