why i'm getting typo error??

In the public static void hackSalary(int a) method, increase the salary by 1000 and display the following: "Your salary is: <a+1000> dollars per month."
where <a+1000> is the salary increased by 1000.

Example output for a = 7000:
Your salary is: 8000 dollars per month.

Requirements:

The program should display text on the screen.
The main method should not call System.out.println or System.out.print.
The hackSalary method should not return a result.
The main method should call the hackSalary method only once.
The hackSalary method should increase the input parameter by 1000 and output text to the screen according to the specified template.

package com.codegym.task.task02.task0205; /* Pay raise */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { hackSalary(7000); } public static void hackSalary(int a) { int b = a+1000; System.out.println("Your salary is: + b + dollars per month."); //write your code here } }

b is not a string it should be: System.out.println("Your salary is:" + b + " dollars per month.");

There are 2 issues in your program. Issue1: You haven't increased parameter value 7000 to 8000 Issue2: You should not enclose variable b inside the double quotes because it will treated as a alphabet instead of variable also remove the space before and after '+' symbol it will give you error. Please see below for reference. System.out.print("Your salary is: "+a+" dollars per month.");

Variable b should not be a string. Try this: "Some string" + variable + "some other string."
