1,025 Pointsinterfaces in java problems ---help!!
Let's allow our BlogPost to be sorted. In this first step, just make the class implement Comparable interface, and produce a compareTo method that accepts an object as a parameter. Have it always return 1 for this first step, we'll do more in the next step....plz i need help with this.this is how far av gone
package com.example;
import java.util.Date;
public class BlogPost implements Comparable{
private String mAuthor;
private String mTitle;
private String mBody;
private String mCategory;
private Date mCreationDate;
public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
mAuthor = author;
mTitle = title;
mBody = body;
mCategory = category;
mCreationDate = creationDate;
}
public String[] getWords() {
return mBody.split("\\s+");
}
public String getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public String getBody() {
return mBody;
}
public String getCategory() {
return mCategory;
}
public Date getCreationDate() {
return mCreationDate;
}
@override
public int compareTo(Object obj){
if(String result == blog.compareTo(obj)){
return result;
}
}
}

You've done most of that correctly; however, the instructions at this point are to just have the method return 1; the int you've specified; your method is returning a string based on an if condition. You just need:
public int compareTo (Object obj) {
return 1;
}
Subsequent tasks develop this further.
I hope that helps.
Steve.

Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 12,031 PointsIts being weird and not showing the entirety of my code.
public int compareTo(Object obj) {
BlogPost other = (BlogPost) obj;
if (equals(other)) {
return 0;
}
int dateCmp = mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate);
if (dateCmp == 0) {
}
return 1;
}
