Java Java Data Structures Efficiency! Add tags to a course

getting problem in task 3

I don't understand what the question is. Any ideas?

com/example/model/Course.java
package com.example.model;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.TreeSet;

public class Course {
  private String mTitle;
  private Set<String> mTags;

  public Course(String title) {
    mTitle = title;
    mTags = new TreeSet<String>();
    // TODO: initialize the set mTags
  }

  public void addTag(String tag) {
    // TODO: add the tag
    mTags.add(tag);
  }

  public void addTags(List<String> tags) {
    // TODO: add all the tags passed in
    for (String tag : tags){
      mTags.add(tag);
    }
  }

  public boolean hasTag(String tag) {
    // TODO: Return whether or not the tag has been added
    return false;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

}

It is asking you to fix the hasTag method. All you do is loop through the tags and compare the item in your loop with the tag that was passed in and if it matches return true otherwise return false.
