error

Keep getting error with whatever code I write

public String getFormattedReleaseDate() { SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); Date zzz = getReleaseDate(); String xxx = formatter.Format(zzz); return xxx; } public String getFormattedReleaseDate() { SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); String xxx = formatter.Format(getReleaseDate()); return xxx; } public String getFormattedReleaseDate() { SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); return formatter.Format(getReleaseDate()); }

Movie.java 
import java.util.Date;

public class Movie {

    private String mTitle;
    private Date mReleaseDate;

    public String getTitle() {
        return mTitle;
    }

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

    public Date getReleaseDate() {
        return mReleaseDate;
    }

    public void setReleaseDate(Date date) {
        mReleaseDate = date;
    }

    public String getFormattedReleaseDate() {
      SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
      Date zzz = getReleaseDate();
      String xxx = formatter.Format(zzz);
      return xxx;
    }
}

Hi there,

You have capitalised .Format(); use a lowercase f.

Steve. 

    public String getFormattedReleaseDate() {
      SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
      return formatter.format(getReleaseDate());
    }
