8,211 PointsWrapping up Java Objects, why the Bummer!?
Bummer! I expected to see the names I passed in through the args, but I do not. Hmm.
That's what i get when I do this...
ForumPost.java
public class ForumPost {
private User mAuthor;
private String mTitle;
private String mDescription;
public User getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public ForumPost(User author, String title, String description) {
mAuthor = author;
mTitle = title;
mDescription = description;
}
public String getDescription() {
return mDescription;
}
// TODO: We need to expose the description
}
User.java
public class User {
private String mFirstName;
private String mLastName;
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
// TODO: Set the private fields here
mFirstName = firstName;
mLastName = lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return mFirstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return mLastName;
}
}
Forum.java
public class Forum {
private String mTopic;
public String getTopic() {
return mTopic;
}
public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
System.out.printf("New post from %s %s about %s.\n",
post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
post.getTitle());
}
public Forum(String topic) {
mTopic = topic;
}
}
Example.java
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Starting forum example...");
if (args.length < 2) {
System.out.println("first and last name are required. eg: java Example Craig Dennis");
}
Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
User author = new User("Craig", "Dennis");
ForumPost post = new ForumPost(author, "g", "g");
forum.addPost(post);
}
}
Please help me

8,211 PointsSorry about the messiness of the post, it looked much better before it reformatted
edit: it somehow magically fixed itself
