Class Review Video Error

I can't figure out what is wrong with my code. this is the same code he uses in the video:

import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;

import java.util.Date;

public class Example{

public static void main(String[] args){ Treet treet = new Treet( "Not your business", "Zaphod Beeblebrox is awesome, no question", new Date(1465829029L) ); System.out.printf("This is a new Treet: %s %n", treet); }

This is the error code I'm getting: Example.java:11: error: incompatible types: Date cannot be converted to String
new Date(1465829029L)
^
Note: Some messages have been simplified; recompile with -Xdiags:verbose to get full output

Could you post the Treet class? It sounds like the Treet object is thinking that the Date object is meant to be a String. Or could you tell me which lesson this is from? Then I can go to it and try it myself.

I copied your code into the workspace added the } at the end and recompiled.
