Line 13 has an 'incompatible types' error. What would be a [possible workaround?
public class Tweet {
public static final int MAX_CHARACTERS = 140;
private String mText;
public Tweet(String text) {
mText = text;
}
public String getText() {
return mText;
public int getRemainingCharacters() {
return MAX_CHARACTERS - mText.length();
}
}
public class Tweet {
public static final int MAX_CHARACTERS = 140;
private String mText;
public Tweet(String text) {
mText = text;
}
public String getText() {
return mText;
public int getRemainingCharacters() {
return MAX_CHARACTERS - mText.length();
}
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsHello, the reason it is going this is because it is reading this method as being inside the method get text. The work around would be.
public String getText() {
return mText;
}
public int getRemainingCharacters() {
return MAX_CHARACTERS - mText.length();
}
}
