Override an inherited method...return "BlogPost: TITLE by AUTHOR"

Question

I've tried this with and without quotes, extra space, Caps/no Caps...It compiles and looks to me to be what they are asking for...?

com/example/BlogPost.java

package com.example;

import java.util.Date;
import java.io.*;

public class BlogPost {
    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;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString(){
      return "\"Blogpost:  " + mTitle.toUpperCase() + " by " + mAuthor.toUpperCase() + "\"";      
    }

    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;
    }
}

Hi, I want ahead and opened the challenge. I copied and pasted your code to see what was wrong.

The only differences that I had to change was that I removed the ".toUpperCase()" methods, and capitalized the 'P' in the blog post word.

Example: "blogpost: " was changed to "blogPost: "

Here is code of the override method that was accepted for me.

Hope this helps.

    @Override
    public String toString(){
      return "\"BlogPost:  " + mTitle + " by " + mAuthor + "\"";      
    }
