Error: Cannot find symbol Treet.

Hi everyone, I seem to be getting an error every time I try to compile my Example class:

https://w.trhou.se/u34rjszpbq

I've made sure the class names are correct and code is written as shown in the videos. So I don't understand why the system is failing to compile these classes.

Please let me know where I'm going wrong.

You have set the value but you have not called your get methods.

Try this:

    Treet treet = new Treet("craigdennis", "new tweet", new Date(1421849732000L)); 
    String name = treet.getmAuthor();
    String descp = treet.getmDescription();
    Date creationDate = treet.getmCreationDate();

    System.out.printf("This is %s and he is such an %s. Created on %s", name, descp, creationDate);

Hope it gives you some idea!

Happy coding!
