The method getTitleFromObject will be called and passed a String and/or a com.example.BlogPost. Return the object type casted as a String if it is a String, and if it is the BlogPost type cast it, and return the results of the getTitle method.
import com.example.BlogPost;
public class TypeCastChecker {
/***************
I have provided 2 hints for this challenge.
Change `false` to `true` in one line below, then click the "Check work" button to see the hint.

public static boolean HINT_1_ENABLED = false;
public static boolean HINT_2_ENABLED = false;
public static String getTitleFromObject(Object obj) {
// Fix this return statement to be the correct string.
if(obj instanceof String){
HINT_1_ENABLED = true;
HINT_2_ENABLED = true;
}
return "String";
}
}

Welcome to Treehouse!
You don't want to move the hint code into the method. If you want to turn them on, set them to true, one at a time, and make sure you don't have any errors in the code you add. For example, to see Hint 1:
import com.example.BlogPost;
public class TypeCastChecker {
/***************
I have provided 2 hints for this challenge.
Change `false` to `true` in one line below, then click the "Check work" button to see the hint.
NOTE: You must set all the hints to false to complete the exercise.
****************/
public static boolean HINT_1_ENABLED = true;
public static boolean HINT_2_ENABLED = false;
public static String getTitleFromObject(Object obj) {
// Fix this return statement to be the correct string.
return "";
}
}
Post back if you are still stuck once you view the hints.
