Hi there,

The hasTag method receives a tag and returns true if mTags contains tag, or false otherwise.

The List class has a helpful method called .contains() which you can chain to the list variable, mTags and pass in the tag that the method receives.

This will create a true or false outcome so you can just return the result of that expression from the method.

So, take mTags, chain .contains() onto it with dot notation and pass tag into contains() inside the brackets. Return that.
