            topic,
            post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
            post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
            post.getTitle()
    );
  }

  private String firstName;
  private String lastName;

  // TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName

  public User(String firstName, String lastName) {

    if (args.length < 2) {
      System.out.println("Usage: java Main <first name> <last name>");
      System.err.println("<first name> and <last name> are required");
      System.exit(1);
    }

    Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
    // TODO: pass in the first name and last name that are in the args parameter
    String firstName = args[0];
    String lastName = args[1];
    User author = new User(firstName, lastName); //<----- all cruicial points marked with comments
