Question

Question: Finally, uncomment the addPost method in Forum.java. Then for the last task, uncomment the main method in Example.java fixing the bugs as you go to use the new working code. For the forum post title and description, use that to shout out about how it feels to complete this challenge.

PS. You're amazing.

Code

ForumPost.java

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

  public User getAuthor() {
    return mAuthor;
  }

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

  public String getDescription() {
    return mDescription;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

  // 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) {
   mTopic = topic;
  }

  public void addPost(ForumPost post) {

  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");
    User author = new User("Devin");
    ForumPost post = new ForumPost("Done", "Wooooooo I finished!");
    forum.addPost(post);
  }
}

    User author = new User("Devin", "Scheu");
    ForumPost post = new ForumPost("Devin", "Jobs",  "Apply for jobs here!");
    forum.addPost(post);
