Welcome to a little Twitter-like application. Here I'm modeling a Tweet. It has text which is the body of the tweet. All Tweets have a maximum character limit of 140 characters.

Please add a new constant to store the maximum number of characters allowed which is 140. Use the proper access level modifiers to make it unchangeable and accessible right off of the class. Follow the proper naming convention.

The challenge Remaining Characters asks: Please add a new constant to store the maximum number of characters allowed which is 140. Use the proper access level modifiers to make it unchangeable and accessible right off of the class. Follow the proper naming convention.

Breaking this down:

Please add a new constant to store the maximum number of characters allowed: a "constant" implies to use an ALL CAPS variable name. The exact name is not specified. Let's use MAX_CHAR. "number of characters" implies this will be of type int:

int MAX_CHAR;

which is 140.: this is our initial value: 

int MAX_CHAR = 140;

Use the proper access level modifiers to make it unchangeable...: implies using final keyword:

final int MAX_CHAR = 140;

...and accessible... implies public keyword:

public final int MAX_CHAR = 140;

...right off of the class.. implies `static keyword:

public static final int MAX_CHAR = 140;

Follow the proper naming convention.: A reminder to use ALL CAPS variable name
