Under discussion

help me out to solve

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) { a = a + 1000; System.out.println("Your salary is:" +a+"dollars per month.");//write your code here } }

i did this: int b = a+1000; System.out.println("Your salary is: "+ b + " dollars per month."); The is that you are being asking to output 9000 but i think it only will allow you to do it if the result is 8000

Your coding is correct, give some space as mentioned by Kaushal, it'll work.

It should be

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

not

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

Notice the spaces carefully, Hope it helps!!

try changing the argument of function hackSalary(7000); to hackSalary(8000);

I did that, the problem is that you must finish with 8000 in total instead of 9000, i beleve is a mistake from the exrcise itself
