public int getLength(){ int LENGTH = mText.length(); return LENGTH; }
public class Tweet {
private String mText;
public static final int CONSTANT = 140;
public Tweet(String text) {
mText = text;
}
public int getLength(){
int LENGTH = mText.length();
return LENGTH;
}
public String getText() {

We need to be subtracting the length of mText from our constant to get how many characters are still available, right? So if our "Tweet" has five characters in it, our method should return the value of 140 - 5.
Using the variable name you used we should be able, therefore, to make our return statement:
return CONSTANT - mText.length();
Post back if you have further questions.
Happy coding,
Ken

1,239 PointsCan You Tell Me the difference between static and final
Chiranjeev Dahiya
2,139 PointsIn Java we use Static to access any method or data variable without making instance of that class.for e.g
public class abc{
static int a = 10 ; }
we can use this variable class name like :- abc.a = 20;
where as we can use final keyword in three ways:-
1) Variable = Make constant through out the program. 2) method = does not override it in inheritance. 3) class = class cannot be inherited.
