Question about the task

Repetition is the mother of all learning

Java Syntax, Level 2, Lesson 8

Under discussion

I tried it with a String it gave the same error.

package com.codegym.task.task02.task0218; /* Repetition is the mother of all learning */ public class Solution { public static void print3(String s) { System.out.print("I love you!"); System.out.print("I love you!"); System.out.print("I love you!");//write your code here } public static void main(String[] args) { print3("I love you!"); } }

Okey when you call the print3("I love java"); It just prints the result as I Love You!I Love You!I Love You! this is the thing i'm trying to convey,the print3 method doesn't take the argument which is given in the main method. With this read the before comment, I hope now clear.

Hey there! You have two options to print to the console: print() and println() Read about the both methods and you will get your answer ( if you didn't found it yet ) :)

Take println for generating a new line after printing the text

First of all in the print3() method it just print the actual value or String which is given if you change the String in the main method it won't print that, it just prints "I love You!" as result. Think about that what should it be, answer is in the method parameter. Second as Seggio said you need to print the results in new line you can take the new line expression \n it creates a new line before it goes to next value or else you can use the println to print it works fine.

dhanush tries to explain, that with the method call in line 16

print3("I love you!");

you send the String "I love you!" to that method with the signature

public static void print3(String s)

and that string is saved in the variable s. Means inside that method you can access that string using s like:

public static void print3(String s) {
     System.out.println(s);
}

You didn't output the string you sent to the method but a new one you have defined inside the method.
