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

Are you sure you're doing challenges to lead up to at least the third question?
if not what question are you getting stuck on?
Rob Bridges
Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsLooking into the rest of your code the only thing I could see was that you but a body inside your BlogPost.java class, you actually don't need to declare anything in the class, and I see that you have "This is a blogPost %s" in your BlogPost.java class we're just importing the package, creating the class, but leaving it blank. That class should look like.
package com.example;
class BlogPost {
}
Thanks, that might be what is causing the error.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsHello!
What this final challenge is wanting us to do is first create a new BlogPost object, since we've imported the package, we should have no problem with this.
It would look like
BlogPost blogPost = new BlogPost();
after that, we can pass in our new BlogPost object into the string, with the blogpost object as the formatted item.
After everything, your code should look similar to below:
import com.example.BlogPost;
public class Display {
public static void main(String[] args) {
BlogPost blogPost = new BlogPost();
System.out.printf("this is a blog post : %s", blogPost);
}
}
Thanks, let me know if this doesn't help.

10,608 PointsI got what you had, I just have a question about it. When you put BlogPost blogPost = new BlogPost();, BlogPost is the type that it returns and blogpost is the name of what you are creating. Since you are creating a new instance of blogpost, that is where the new BlogPost comes from. Is all of that correct?
Rob Bridges
Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsHey Matt, that certainly is. I know it's confusing, we could have called it something like
BlogPost myBlogPost = new BlogPost();
For clarity sake this probably would have been easier.
