Returning a number of times attempt used with respect to the total trials remaining.

Create a public method named getRemainingCharacterCount that returns an int representing how many characters they have left before they 140. Base your calculation on the field that stores the current text.

Tweet.java 
public class Tweet {
  public static final int MAX_CHARS=140;
  private String text;
  private int count;
  public Tweet(String text) {
    this.text = text;
  }

  public getRemainingCharacterCount(){
    return MAX_CHARS - Text.length();
  }

  public String getText() {
    return text;
  }

  public void setText(String text) {
    this.text = text;
  }
}
