New Java Course Help

Question: 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.

I have no clue what im doing wrong, :/

Code:

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

public class BlogPost {

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

Your BlogPost.java package name is incorrect. It should just be com.example. I'll submit a bug report.

The package statement name should look like:

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

for Display.java your import statement then looks like:

Display.java
import com.example.BlogPost;

Which I believe is what the challenge directions state to do for Task 3.

I sent the helpful folks in the help center a note along with the course instructor.
