Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong here. I have done research and tried everything possible but it won't pass the test.
public class TeacherAssistant {
public static String validatedFieldName(String fieldName) {
// These things should be verified:
// 1. Member fields must start with an 'm'
// 2. The second letter in the field name must be uppercased to ensure camel-casing
// NOTE: To check if something is not equal use the != symbol. eg: 3 != 4
if (fieldName.charAt(0) != 'm' || !Character.isUpperCase(fieldName.charAt(1)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Error");
}
return fieldName;
}
}
