Homework: Compare Date Strings | I have one more extra line of code but I feel like I have the bare minimum

Java
1

The given task is to compare two given Strings that contain dates in the Epoch form (?).

I start off with importing the Instant class.
Then in the method itself, in one line, I return a comparison of the two dates where I use the compareTo() method and the parse() method.

My total added number of lines with this solution is 2.

Yet, when I try to submit my work, I get the following error:

Your submission contains unexecuted code:
  You have 1 more lines of unexecuted code than the solution, which is more than the limit of 0.

Any ideas on what this error code specifically means?

Thanks in advance,
Aditya

I’m having same problem. They discuss this error in another thread located here but I can’t figure it out either as I believe we’ve arrived at the same solution…which is a single line. Maybe the discussion will help you figure it out. I also had trouble with the practice problem further up on this page did you get the solution there?

Haha, yeah… Same problem there too.
My submission and their solution matched up character for character but still was counted as incorrect.

There are a few kinks left on this resource to iron out, but the course is still very helpful!
