Challenge task 1 of 4 HashMap

Question: Inside the onCreate() method, create two HashMap<String, String> variables and in each one, store a website name value using KEY_NAME as the key and the website URL value using KEY_URL as the key.

There are already two variables created: public static final String KEY_NAME = "name"; public static final String KEY_URL = "url";

I thought they where asking for this: HashMap<String, String> webStie = new HashMap<String, String>(); webStie .put(KEY_NAME, name); webStie .put(KEY_URL, url);

I have searched the internet which gives me a completely different way to write the code.

You got it right, partly though. The question asks you create two HashMaps of String-String type. In both of them you need to add the two attributes (name and url) to both these maps.

'''java

    HashMap<String, String> map1 = new HashMap<String, String>();
    HashMap<String, String> map2 = new HashMap<String, String>();

    map1.put(KEY_NAME, "Any website name");
    map1.put(KEY_URL, "Any url");

    map2.put(KEY_NAME, "Any website name");
    map2.put(KEY_URL, "Any url");
