In java, I am confused.

Challenge Task 4 of 4 Now in the main method of Display.java, instantiate a new BlogPost. Use System.out.printf to print out "This is a blog post: %s" and pass in the newly created BlogPost object to replace the string formatter.

Thanks!

com/example/BlogPost.java 
package com.example;

public class BlogPost {
}
Display.java 
import com.example.BlogPost;
public class Display {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    BlogPost example = new.BlogPost();
    System.out.prinf("This is a blog post: %s", example);

  }
}

Hi there! You're doing terrific and this comes down to two typos.

When you instantiated (or tried) the new blog post, you typed:

new.BlogPost()

But that should be:

new BlogPost()  // note the removal of the "." between new and BlogPost

When you then tried to print it out, you typed prinf instead of printf. Note that you omitted the "t" in your version.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
