Hi there, I don't know, perhaps is because my english is a bit rusty but to me the way this task is worded leads to confusion. These are the conditions of the taks: ************************************************************************* StringHelper class In the StringHelper class, implement two static methods: String multiply(String s, int count) - returns a string that has been repeated count times String multiply(String s) - returns a string that has been repeated 5 times Example: Amigo -> AmigoAmigoAmigoAmigoAmigo Requirements: 1. The StringHelper class's methods must return a string. 2. The StringHelper class's methods must be static. 3. The StringHelper class's methods must be public. 4. The multiply(String s, int count) method must return a string that has been repeated count times. 5. The multiply(String s) method must return a string that has been repeated 5 times. **************************************************************************************************** To me, methods arguments were already the repeated string and the task was to find the original word (without repetitions). Also there's a mismatch between the task before being solved and the solutions given by the platform. This is the task before being solved: 
package en.codegym.task.jdk13.task06.task0611;

/*
StringHelper class
*/

public class StringHelper {
    public static String multiply(String text) {
        String result = "";
        //write your code here
        return result;
    }

    public static String multiply(String text, int count) {
        String result = "";
        //write your code here
        return result;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }
}
This is the solution given by CODEGYM: 
package en.codegym.task.jdk13.task06.task0611;

/*
StringHelper class
*/
public class StringHelper {
    public static String multiply(String text) {
        return multiply(text, 5);
    }

    public static String multiply(String text, int count) {
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            stringBuilder.append(text);
        }

        return stringBuilder.toString();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }
}
As you can see the vars result that are in the proposal and that are placed before the signal "//write your code here", are missing in the solution. Thanks
