3,623 PointsInstantiate?
I am not sure what instantiating is or how to do it. I did a quick google search and tried to follow an example. Maybe someone could point out where I messed up?
package com.example;
public class BlogPost {
}
import com.example.Blogpost
public class Display {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int BlogPost
System.out.printf("This is a blog post: %s" BlogPost);
}
}

221,451 Points"Instantiate" is just a techie word for "make an object". This is usually done using the "new" operator.
