Question about the task

Under discussion

This code I created, but still have issue. Please, help! 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 = 1000 + 7000; System.out.print ("Your salary is:"); System.out.print (""); System.out.print (b); System.out.print (""); System.out.print ("per month.");

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 = 1000 + 7000; System.out.print ("Your salary is:"); System.out.print (""); System.out.print (b); System.out.print (""); System.out.print ("per month."); } }

Each character is strictly very important. You seem to have left out two pieces of space. Notice the difference: "Your salary is: 9000 dollars per month." "Your salary is:9000dollars per month."

For the code to be correct you should be able to change line 10 to any number between the parentheses and it will output that plus 1000. So, whithout changing any other code if line 10 were:

hackSalary(7);

The correct output should be: Your salary is: 1007 dollars per month. However, when I make the change with your code it outputs: Your salary is:8000dollars per month. (notice the lack of spaces too) Another example, if line 10 were:

hackSalary(4000);

The correct output should be: Your salary is: 5000 dollars per month. You'll know when your code is correct when you can make a change to ONLY line 10 and when run it outputs correct results.

System.out.println("Your salary is: "+(a+1000) + " dollars per month.");
