Here is my code below. As far as I can tell, it works perfectly fine. I'm not sure what I need to change in order for this to meet the satisfaction of the verifier. Any tips?

Question about the task

Resolved

package com.codegym.task.task06.task0617;

/*
Notepad for new ideas
By Pranai Rao
*/

public class Solution {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Idea newIdea = new Idea("I should rule the universe!");
        printIdea(newIdea);
    }

    public static void printIdea(Idea idea) {
        System.out.println(idea.getDescription());
    }

    //write your code here
    public static class Idea {
        public String idea;
        public String getDescription() {
            return this.idea;
        }
        public Idea(String idea) {
            this.idea = idea;
        }
    }
}

1. In the Solution class, create the public static Idea class
2. In the Idea class, declare a public String getDescription() method that returns any non-empty string
3. In the Solution class, create a static public void printIdea(Idea idea) method that will display a description of the idea (what the getDescription method returns)

Requirements:

In the Solution class, create the public static Idea class.
In the Idea class, create the public String getDescription() method.
The getDescription method must return any non-empty string.
In the Solution class, create a public static void printIdea(Idea idea) method.
The printIdea method should display the idea description on the screen.

package com.codegym.task.task06.task0617; /* Notepad for new ideas */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { Idea newIdea = new Idea("I should rule the universe!"); printIdea(newIdea); } public static void printIdea(Idea idea) { System.out.println(idea.getDescription()); } //write your code here public static class Idea { public String idea; public String getDescription() { return this.idea; } public Idea(String idea) { this.idea = idea; } } }

solution

Looks like CodeGym insists on a String literal being returned in the getDescription method and does not accept a variable

public String getDescription() {
    return "test";
}

And cause of that I'd change the code to use a no args constructor (remove your constructor to make the default one accessible again or create it).

printIdea(new Idea());

solution

I'm rather disappointed in CodeGym's take on this task. Their "correct" code doesn't really "work." Corrected Code:

package com.codegym.task.task06.task0617;

/*
Notepad for new ideas

*/

public class Solution {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        printIdea(new Idea());
    }

    public static void printIdea(Idea idea) {
        System.out.println(idea.getDescription());
    }

    //write your code here
    public static class Idea {
        public String getDescription() {
            return "idea!";
        }
    }
}
