2,762 PointsGetting actual and formal argument lists differ in length error. Apparently, I can't copy from the video?
When compiling the code from the data structures course, I get the compiler error saying that my constructor and instantiation for Treet require different parameters. Can someone look at the code and tell me where I failed to copy from the video? I can't seem to find it.
Code below.
Thanks,!

I'll use your tweet in a new " + "@treehouse course about data structures.", new Date(1421849732000L) ); System.out.printf("This is a new Treet: %s %n", treet); }
