Stuck on Part 2 of 2 Remaining Objects No matter how I try I can't get this one.

This seems like it should be very similar to the getRemainingTries() method in the video. No matter if I try Tweet.length or text.length I get a compiler error.

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

  public String getText() {
    return text;
  }

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

  public int getRemainingCharacterCount(){
    int getRemainingCharacterCount = MAX_CHARS - Tweet.length;
    return getRemainingCharacterCount;
  }
}

Hi Mary,

You were close with text.length but you need a set of parentheses after length
