11,938 PointsWhat is wrong here with my code?
I have looked up multiple answers on the forum and can't find anything at all and although the code compiles fine, it's still wrong
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;
}
public int compareTo(Object obj) {
BlogPost other = (BlogPost) obj;
if (equals(other)) {
obj = (BlogPost) obj;
return 0;
}
int compareDate = mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate);
return compareDate;
}
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;
}
}

public class BlogPost implements Comparable {
// class body
}
