Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Michael,
The only things you were supposed to do in this challenge were to add the constant and the remaining characters method which you have done correctly.
The problem is that you modified the constructor and added in an infinite while loop. The challenge is probably timing out then because your code is taking too long to run.
Leave the constructor unmodified and you should be fine.
