Help: Getting error - missing return statement

If the mTitle method is not going to return anything, you should write your code like so:

public class PictureBook
{
    public void mTitle ()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Otherwise, the method should return a String, in which case, include a return statement which returns a string ...

public class PictureBook
{
    public String mTitle ()
    {
        return "A string";
    }
}

I'm having the same problem. I've tried...

public class PictureBook {

  public String mTitle() {

  }

}

...which throws the error:

./PictureBook.java:5: missing return statement
  }
  ^
1 error

I've tried... (inside the class brackets)

public String mTitle() {
return mTitle;
}

...which throws the error:

./PictureBook.java:4: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable mTitle
location: class PictureBook
    return mTitle;
           ^
1 error

I've also tried "return Title" instead of "return mTitle." I've tried cutting and pasting everything from the FunFacts project in and changing "fact" and "facts" to "title" and "titles" (removing the RandomNumber generator, because that would require a class I'm not sure I can call from the challenge interface) and that doesn't work either.

I just can't seem to get past this exercise. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Varghese Joseph: We were both trying something far more complicated than this challenge actually calls for. Think of this as just an ordinary string in pretty much any language, but use Java conventions (specify it as public, capitalize String). No brackets or parentheses are required. So...

public String mTitle = "string";
