Can somebody help with task 3 of the challenge?

I don't get what the task wants me to do : The mReleaseDate member variable is already stored as a Date object. Convert it and return it using the SimpleDateFormat variable.

Can somebody paste the code so I can see how I get to it?

Thanks!

Here is the code:

public String getFormattedReleaseDate() {
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    String formattedDate = formatter.format(mReleaseDate);
   return formattedDate;
}
