5,881 PointsError in Java
This is probably an easy fix but I guess I have looked at it too long to figure it out. My error is:
javac Example.java && java Example
Example.java:16: error: cannot find symbol
for (String hashtag : originalTreet.getHashTags()) {
^
symbol: method getHashTags()
location: variable originalTreet of type Treet
Example.java
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Date;
import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;
import com.teamtreehouse.Treets;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Treet[] treets = Treets.load();
System.out.printf("There are %d treets. %n",
treets.length);
Treet originalTreet = treets[0];
System.out.println("Hashtags:");
for (String hashtag : originalTreet.getHashTags()) {
System.out.println(hashtag);
}
}
}
And in Treet.java
package com.teamtreehouse;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
public class Treet implements Comparable<Treet>, Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 7146681148113043748L;
private String mAuthor;
private String mDescription;
private Date mCreationDate;
public Treet(String author, String description, Date creationDate) {
mAuthor = author;
mDescription = description;
mCreationDate = creationDate;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return String.format("Treet: \"%s\" by %s on %s",
mDescription, mAuthor, mCreationDate);
}
@Override
public int compareTo(Treet other) {
if (equals(other)) {
return 0;
}
int dateCmp = mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate);
if (dateCmp == 0) {
return mDescription.compareTo(other.mDescription);
}
return dateCmp;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getDescription() {
return mDescription;
}
public Date getCreationDate() {
return mCreationDate;
}
public List<String> getWords() {
String[] words = mDescription.toLowerCase().split("[^\\w#@']+");
return Arrays.asList(words);
}
public List<String> getHashtag() {
return getWordsPrefixedWith("#");
}
public List<String> getMentions() {
return getWordsPrefixedWith("@");
}
private List<String> getWordsPrefixedWith(String prefix) {
List<String> results = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String word : getWords()) {
if (word.startsWith(prefix)) {
results.add(word);
}
}
return results;
}

public List<String> getHashtag() {
should be
public List<String> getHashTags() {

18,958 PointsIt is another problem you have now, right? If so, what is the new problem?
