I'm over looking something here but what is it

I know I'm over looking something but I don't know what it is

Forum.java
public class Forum {
  private String topic;

  public Forum(String topic){
    this.topic = topic; // <--- same here :)
  }

  public String getTopic() {
    return topic;
  }


   Uncomment this when you are prompted to do so
  public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
    System.out.printf("A new post in %s topic from %s %s about %s is available",
            topic,
            post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
            post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
            post.getTitle()
    );
  }

}
User.java
public class User {
  // TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName
   private String firstName;
  private String lastName;

  public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
    // TODO: set and add the private fields
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }
   public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;  
  }

  public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;  
  }
  // TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName

}
ForumPost.java
public class ForumPost {
  private User author;
  private String title;
  private String description;

    public ForumPost(User author, String title, String description){
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mDescription = description;
  } 
  // TODO: add a constructor that accepts the author, title and description

  public User getAuthor() {
    return author;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return title;
  }

  public String getDescription() {
    return description;
  }
}
Main.java
public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Beginning forum example");
    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

    User author =  new User(args[0], args[1]); //<----- all cruicial points marked with comments
    // TODO: initialize the forum post with the user created above and a title and description of your choice

    ForumPost post = new ForumPost(author, "Whats good to eat", "Apple pie");
    forum.addPost(post);


  }

I think your problem is that you didn't delete the text that says uncomment this, apart from not being able to compile that it is also checking for the keywords "this" && "do" which is why they're highlighted.
