how to use getSharedPreferences in Fragment?

Question

I saw a video on YouTube that creates a quiz app for Android. I try to do this but inside a Fragment. He used getSharedPreferences somewhere and my problem is I can't use it on a fragment.

Here's the part where im getting the error. I hope someone can help me because I really need it to work. Its my school project.

FragmentQuiz.java

 private void updateHighscore(int highscoreNew) {
    highscore = highscoreNew;
    textViewHighscore.setText("Highscore: " + highscore);
    SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFS, MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    editor.putInt(KEY_HIGHSCORE, highscore);
    editor.apply();
}

Have you tried getActivity().getSharedPreferences(...)?
