Question

Question: Alright so now let's focus on ForumPost. It's going to need a constructor that takes a User author a String title and a String description. Don't forget to initialize the member fields in the constructor. Also please add the getter for mDescription.

Code:

ForumPost.java

public class ForumPost {
  private User mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mDescription;

  public FormPost(User author, String title, String description) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mDescription = description;
  }

  public User getAuthor() {
    return mAuthor;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

  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 Forum(String topic) {
  //set mTopic to the topic passed in to the constructor
  mTopic = topic;
  }

  public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
      /* When all is ready uncomment this...
      System.out.printf("New post from %s %s about %s.\n",
                         post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
                         post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
                         post.getTitle());
      */
  }
}

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");
    // Take the first two elements passed args
    // User author = new User();
    // Add the author, title and description
    // ForumPost post = new ForumPost();
    // forum.addPost(post);
  }
}

still have bummper why public class ForumPost { private User mAuthor; private String mTitle; private String mDescription;

public ForumPost (User author) { mAuthor = author;
} public ForumPost (String title) { mTitle = title; }

public class ForumPost { private User mAuthor; private String mTitle; private String mDescription;

public ForumPost (User author, String title, String description) { mAuthor = author; mTitle = title; mDescription = description; }

public User getAuthor() { return mAuthor; }

public String getTitle() { return mTitle; }

public String getDescription() { return mDescription; } // TODO: We need to expose the description } }

public class ForumPost { private User mAuthor; private String mTitle; private String mDescription; public ForumPost (User author, String title, String description) { mAuthor = author; mTitle = title; mDescription = description; } public User getAuthor() { return mAuthor; }

public String getTitle() { return mTitle; } public String getDescription() { return mDescription; } // TODO: We need to expose the description }

public class ForumPost { private User author; private String title; private String description;

public ForumPost(User author,String author, String description){ this.author = author; this.title = title; this.description = description; }

// TODO: add a constructor that accepts the author, title and description

public User getAuthor() { return author; }

public String getTitle() { return title; }

public String getDescription() { return description; } }
