Declaring member variable

It says that I still need need to declare a member variable "mTitle" which is what I thought I was doing with

public String mTitle() {

}

but it says that I still need to declare it.

PictureBook.java 
public class PictureBook {
  public String mTitle(){

  return ("");
  }

}

Harry,

The instructions sat that all you have to do is declare the member variable. It looks like you have made a method.

The answer is:

public String mTitle;

You do not need a return statement, you would use that in a method.
