what is wrong here? I am getting ./com/example/BlogPost.java:19: error: method does not override or implement a method

./com/example/BlogPost.java:19: error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype @Override

com/example/BlogPost.java
package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {
  private String mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mBody;
  private String mCategory;
  private Date mCreationDate;

  public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mBody = body;
    mCategory = category;
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }
  @Override
  public int compareTo(Object obj){
    int x = 1;
    return x;
  }

  public String[] getWords() {
    return mBody.split("\\s+");
  }

  public String getAuthor() {
    return mAuthor;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

  public String getBody() {
    return mBody;
  }

  public String getCategory() {
    return mCategory;
  }

  public Date getCreationDate() {
    return mCreationDate;
  }
}

I believe your class does not implement the Comparable<T> which is why its saying it does not Override or implement a method. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Comparable.html
