2,951 PointsGetting error: incompatible types: Date cannot be converted to String return mCreationDate;
Here is my code, it seems completely the same as the video but I get the message in the title. here is the code
package com.teamtreehouse;
import java.util.Date;
public class Treet{
private String mAuthor;
private String mDescription;
private Date mCreationDate;
public Treet(String author, String description, Date creationDate){
mAuthor = author;
mDescription = description;
mCreationDate = creationDate;
}
public String getAuthor(){
return mAuthor;
}
public String getDescription(){
return mCreationDate;
}
public Date getCreationDate(){
return mCreationDate;
}
}
Anyone know whats wrong?

5,401 PointsLook at your getDescription() method. You are trying to return mCreationDate rather than returning mDescription.

package com.teamtreehouse;
import java.util.Date;
public class Treet { private String mAuthor; private String mDescription; private String mCreationDate;
public Treet(String author, String description, Date creationDate) { mAuthor = author; mDescription = description; mCreationDate = creationDate; }
public String getAuthor() { return mAuthor; }
public String getDescription() { return mDescription; }
public Date getCreationDate() { return mCreationDate; }
}
