Java Java Data Structures - Retired Getting There Class Review

[Not fully solved, but at a point where I can take it from here] What are my errors?

Here is my code: [Example.java]

import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;

public class Example {
 public static void main(String [] args) {
   Treet treet = new Treet(
     "craigsdennis",
     "Want to be famous?  Simply tweet about Java and use the hashtag #treet.  I'll use your tweet in a new @treehouse course about data structures.",
   new Date(14218497320000L)
   );
   System.out.printf("This is a new Treet:  %s, %n", treet);

 }
}

[Treet.java]

package com.teamtreehouse;

import java.util.Date;


  public class Treet {
    private String mAuthor;
    private String mDescription;
    private Date mCreationDate;

  public Treet(String author, String description, Date creationDate) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mDescription = description
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }}
    public String getAuthor() {
     return mAuthor; 
    }

    public String getDescription() {
      return mDescription;
    }  
    public Date getDate() {
      return mCreationDate;
    }

I am getting multiple errors but my ability to start to fix them is complicated because I can't see the first one in the Workspaces Console (Workspaces doesn't allow me to scroll up through the error report).

It looks like you might have an extra curly brace in there- I would say that your Treet class constructor has an extra closing curly brace. I would look into that.

You did not close "public class Treet {"

Just throw a closing curly brace at the end of Treet.java

I think you need to import java.util.Date; in your Example.java too.

Check your curly braces, possibly too many.

In example.java when you set the new date you pass an invalid timestamp 14218497320000L There should be no letters in your timestamp.

Thank you for your answer. In the video he added the L at the end of the timestamp (I believe it stands for "Long"). Without it, even on the video, the compiler displays an error.

Yes any time you use a variable of type long the data should be followed by an 'L'
