I completely din't und the Challenge.Plss help

I din't understand what to do in this challange.

TeacherAssistant.java 
public class TeacherAssistant {
   String firstName;


  public static String validatedFieldName(fieldName) {
    if(!Character.isLetter(firstName)){
      throw new IllegalArgumentException ("A letter is required");
    }
    fieldName =Character.toLowerCase(firstName);

    // 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
    return fieldName;
  }

}

Hi Alina,

This challenge wants us to make sure a member field begins with a lowercase m and that the second character in the member field is an uppercase letter. Please see the following code:

if (fieldName.startsWith("m") && Character.isUpperCase(fieldName.charAt(1))) {
      return fieldName;
    } else {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid field name");
    }
