public class ForumPost {
private User mAuthor;
private String mTitle;
private String mDescription;
public ForumPost(User user, String title, String description)
{
mAuthor = user;
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 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;
}
}
public class Forum {
private String mTopic;
public Forum(String topic){
mTopic = topic;
}
public String getTopic() {
return mTopic;
}
public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
System.out.printf("New post from %s %s about %s.\n",
post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
post.getTitle());
*/
}
}
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(args[0],args[1]);
// Add the author, title and description
ForumPost post = new ForumPost(author, yay ,treehouse ); // the second two need to be strings
forum.addPost(post);
}
}

I added a comment, but the second two parameters need to be Strings so must be surrounded by " and ".
There may be other problems too - but try that first! We can go from there ...
