Code:
public class ForumPost { private User author; private String title; private String description;
public ForumPost(String author) // TODO: add a constructor that accepts the author, title and description
public User getAuthor() { return author; }
public String getTitle() { return title; }
public String getDescription() { return description; } }
In this code which is an object. Is it author?? Thanks.

ForumPost fp = new ForumPost ();
fp would be the object in this case.
