Java

Challenge Task 1 of 1 Now that we know about Generics, let's upgrade our Comparable interface defined on the BlogPost c

This is my answer but i dont know where im going wrong pliz help

package com.example;

import java.io.Serializable; import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost implements Comparable<BlogPost>, Serializable { private String mAuthor; private String mTitle; private String mBody; private String mCategory; private Date mCreationDate;

public int compareTo(BlogPost other) { //BlogPost other = (BlogPost) obj; if (equals(other)) { return 0; } return mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate); } }

1 Answer

BlogPost other = (BlogPost) obj;

This line can be deleted because the interface is doing the typecasting for you. We already know that "other" is of type BlogPost.
