I can't seem to understand this compiler error. What do I return here?

.

PictureBook.java 
public class PictureBook {
  public String mTitle() {}
}

Hi there,

You've done the class correctly. Next, you want to create a member variable. That doesn't require the brackets etc.

It is a public variable of type String called mTitle.

That looks like:

public class PictureBook{
  public String mTitle;
}

I hope that helps.

Steve.
