Hi Tonderay ,

This one is a bit confusing for me too. Your code is working , It turn out just a typo error, No need for dot at the end

<?php

//add new child class here
class Developer extends User{
  protected $skills;
  public function getSkills(){
    return $this->skills; 
  }
  public function setSkills($array){
   $this->skills = $array;
  }

  public function displayUserSkills(){
      return $this->name . " has the following skills: " . implode(", ", $this->getSkills());
  }

}
