Cannot find symbol

I don't know what I did wrong

Error: ./QuickFix.java:23: error: cannot find symbol videosByTitle.put(video.getName(), video); ^ symbol: method getName() location: variable video of type Video 1 error

com/example/model/Course.java
package com.example.model;

import java.util.List;

public class Course {
  private String mName;
  private List<Video> mVideos; 

  public Course(String name, List<Video> videos) {
    mName = name;
    mVideos = videos;
  }

  public String getName() {
    return mName;
  }

  public List<Video> getVideos() {
    return mVideos;
  }

}
com/example/model/Video.java
package com.example.model;

public class Video {
  private String mTitle;

  public Video(String title) {
    mTitle = title;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

  public void setTitle(String title) {
    mTitle = title;
  }

}
QuickFix.java
import com.example.model.Course;
import com.example.model.Video;

import java.util.Map;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class QuickFix {

  public void addForgottenVideo(Course course) {
    // TODO(1):  Create a new video called "The Beginning Bits"
    Video video = new Video("The Beginning Bits");
    // TODO(2):  Add the newly created video to the course videos as the second video.
    course.getVideos().add(1, video);
  }

  public void fixVideoTitle(Course course, String oldTitle, String newTitle) {

  }

  public Map<String, Video> videosByTitle(Course course) {
    Map<String, Video> videosByTitle = new HashMap<String, Video>();
    for(Video video : course.getVideos()) {
      videosByTitle.put(video.getName(), video);
    }
    return videosByTitle;
  }

}

Hi! It looks like you are calling the method getName in class Video. You do not have such a method in that class. On the other hand, you do have the method getTitle. You are probably thinking of that one, while typing something else. ;)
