 public Brand getName()

It should return a String right?

Hope that helps! (Sorry for the delay!)

Spoiler Alert!

package com.example.model;


    public enum Brand {
        JVC("Jvc"),
        SONY("Sony"),
        COBY("Coby"),
        APPLE("Apple");

        private final String mName;

        private Brand(String name) {
            this.mName = name;

        }

        public String getDisplayName(){
            return mName;
        }

Hi Sebastian,

I am not sure I can help. But here are my suggestions:

public enum Brand {
private String nName; //semicolon added

Brand(String Sony) {// access modifier "public" added
    nName = Sony;
}

public String getName() {
    return nName;
}

}

Have you created an instance of Brand inside a class with a main method and gave it a String a an argument?

Like this?

Brand brand = new Brand ("Sony");//your constructor expects a String argument

Let us know if you need more help

Hi Grigorij thanks for the answer but i need help with enum code challenge task 1 that is:

Okay, so for our Boombox app, let's allow it to emulate different kinds of radios that we've carried around throughout the years.

I've started building the Brand Enum can you please add JVC, Sony, Coby and Apple?

package com.example.model;

public enum Brand {
  // Your code here 
  JVC("JVC"),
  SONY("Sony"),
  COBY("Coby"),
  APPLE("Apple");
  private Brand nName;
    Brand(Brand Sony) {
        nName = Sony;
    }

    public Brand getName() {
        return nName;
    }
}

and the error that i get now is: ./com/example/model/Brand.java:6: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to Brand JVC("JVC"),
