Help for debugging task

Question about the task

Resolved

I've done this task multiple times. My answer is consistent. This seems simple, press F8 9 times, set the fahrenheit value to the corrections value, press F8 6 more times, and change the value of the result. Yet, I can't verify the code. What am I doing wrong?

Practice declaring and changing the values of variables while a program is running:

Put a break point on the call to the println method and run the program in debug mode.
After execution stops, press F8 exactly 9 times.
Look at the current value for the correction variable and set the fahrenheit variable to the same value (in the debug window).
Press F8 6 more times.
Look at the current value of the correction variable and assign this value to the result field (change the source code).

This means there should be only one change in the Solution class: the result field should be initialized when it is declared.

Requirements:

Don't change the main method.
The result field must be assigned the correct value.

package en.codegym.task.pro.task05.task0520; /* Changing shoes on the move */ public class Solution { public static int result = 93; public static void main(String[] args) { byte correction = Byte.MAX_VALUE; for (double fahrenheit = -459.67; fahrenheit < 451; fahrenheit += 40) { correction *= fahrenheit; System.out.println(correction); } } }

Finally cracked the code!. if you follow the steps correctly you should get 105 as correction then copy that to your source code not in the DEBUG MENU. it should work

OMG I thought what is wrong. Readed comments and just realised that solution is type result of the correction to result in the code.So it is like this: result = 105.

Yo Code Gymmers -- Good Exercise. Took me a year to complete this. Super confusing to me reading the task instructions. #1 RUN the code snippet in the Debug pop up box (look to the left in my attachment). It's a formula / a method. Get the result and assign it to _that_ variable -- not in main. #2 RUN this Code. > Do Not Alter the inside of the main method ... And btw their is no "correction" variable -- it's not a literal translation --- whoops. This exercise is to play around with the scary IDE Debugger and you will get it.

solution

Tried that two times and got 105 as result each time.

Thank you! This is the correct answer. If you recognize what I've done wrong, please let me know.

Hi Thomas! I can't find such a task in my own course: "Changing shoes on the move" , but supposedly it is in Java Syntax Level 5 . And I don't understand what it is: package en.codegym.task.pro.task05.task0520; What is its trick?:)

;) I've asked the same yesterday https://codegym.cc/help/15958 @Anonymous #10834091 I do not know what you have done wrong. Maybe something went wrong with changing the value of the fahrenheit variable?

It took a bit of time understanding; 1st Part is nothing to be changed in main method() -- so no need to touch it. 2nd Part is find the variable result in the public static int result and assign the correct value over here. This should be it and submit.
