Java Spring Basics Using the MVC Architecture Fix a Model

What am I suppose to do??

The objective is: Imagine you are writing a task management application that allows a user to track a list of tasks to complete. While testing your application, you receive an error saying that Thymeleaf cannot access the complete property in the expression ${task.complete}. This is due to an error in the Task model class given below. Correct the model class to fix the error. (Hint: Thymeleaf doesn't access the complete field value directly)

I am lost, please help!

com/teamtreehouse/todo/model/Task.java 
package com.teamtreehouse.todo.model;

import java.time.LocalDateTime;

public class Task {
  private String description;
  private LocalDateTime dueDateTime;
  private boolean complete;

  public Task(String description, LocalDateTime dueDateTime) {
    this.description = description;
    this.dueDateTime = dueDateTime;
    this.complete = false;
  }

  public String getDescription() {
    return description;
  }

  public void setDescription(String description) {
    this.description = description;  
  }

  public LocalDateTime getDueDateTime() {
    return dueDateTime;  
  }

  public void setDueDateTime(LocalDateTime dueDateTime) {
    this.dueDateTime = dueDateTime;  
  }

  public void setComplete(boolean complete) {
    this.complete = complete;  
  }
}

You need to add getter function to get private property. Just add the following method to your class:

  public boolean getComplete() {
    return complete;
  }
