hi, for the first challnage u need to declare MAX_CHARS and assign him to 140. and in the second challnage u need to create a method that gets the remaining chars available based on the text variable. the working code is this :

public static final int MAX_CHARS = 140

u need to set it to public because u want to get access to this variable outside of the class and set it to final, final prevent u to change the variable and lastly u need to set the value to 140.
