Im not sure what am i missing? there is no word on the editor either

did i place it in the wrong line?

Tweet.java 
public class Tweet {
  private String mText;
  public static final int MAX_LENGTH = 140;

  public Tweet(String text) {
    while(text.length() < MAX_LENGTH){
    mText = text;
    }
  }

  public String getText() {
    return mText;
  }
  public int remainingCharacters(){
    return (MAX_LENGTH - mText.length());
  }

}

Hi jhonatan,

your constructor looks a little bit overloaded :

public class Tweet {
  private String mText;
  public static final int MAX_LENGTH = 140;

  public Tweet(String text) {
   while(text.length() < MAX_LENGTH){ // delete this line
    mText = text;
    } // and this line
   // you don´t need the while loop here
   // the constructor is fine without it
  }

  public String getText() {
    return mText;
  }
  public int remainingCharacters(){
    return (MAX_LENGTH - mText.length());
// this method is totally fine
  }

}
