96 PointsA constructor is a method with the same name as the class and return nothing. So what you have written is just a normal method. If the class is Forum them the constructor should be something like: public Forum (String someString) { //code goes here mTopic = someString; }

5,969 PointsWhat the task is asking you is to create a constructor that takes a string as a parameter in the forum class aka. Forum.java. It is the third file from the left.
The Constructors are the initial method that is called when a instance is created. The have the same name as the class.
Hope that helps

5,969 PointsMake sure to name the constructors as I mentioned on my original answer and how Nikolay mentioned. Constructors have the same name as the class and return nothing.

public Forum (String theTopic) { mTopic=theTopic; }
