5,546 PointsTrouble adding a member variable
Hi! I'm stuck on a code challenge asking me to:
"Now add a String member variable named mTitle. Make it public."
I typed in:
public class PictureBook { public String mTitle() { } }
but I keep getting told I'm wrong. I've checked Ben's video multiple times and I seem to have written the code exactly the way he wrote it and yet I've somehow still gotten the code wrong.
Can anyone please help me if they've identified an error in my code? Apologies if my mistake was very basic, this is my first time ever making an app.
Thanks!
public class PictureBook {
public String mTitle() {
}
}

7,056 PointsThey are asking you to make a public member variable, what you have there is a public member function declaration (I think that's the right word).
Drop the parentheses and the curlies and add a semicolon to the end and it should be fine ^^
Edit: Oh, I should clarify, only remove the curlies extending from mTitle, not the ones from the class.
