Java Java Objects (Retired) Delivering the MVP Validation

Hey all, I'm stack in this quiz of checking the style of fieldName if the first letter is 'm', the second is UpperCase

I think that I don't understand what the quiz want to check. Because I have written the code in a different styles but it still showing me that it is not correct. I do not have a syntax or logic problems, but my code does not meet the functionality that the quiz ask for.

Would you please show me what is wrong with my code

Thanks in advice

TeacherAssistant.java
public class TeacherAssistant {

  public static String validatedFieldName(String fieldName) {
    // These things should be verified:
    // 1.  Member fields must start with an 'm'
    // 2.  The second letter in the field name must be uppercased to ensure camel-casing
    // NOTE:  To check if something is not equal use the != symbol. eg: 3 != 4
    if ( (fieldName.charAt(0) != 'm') && ( Character.isLetter(fieldName.charAt(1)) == true ) && (Character.isUpperCase(fieldName.charAt(1)) != true) ){
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("The fielName doesn't match the style");
    }
    return fieldName;
  }

}

I tried to play with your solution... It looks good to me, but I don't know why it fails sometimes. But solution here for example suggest that you put into if condition when fieldName is accepted, and not the condition when fieldName is wrong
