i do not understant return 20 ...

Implement the getFeetFromInches(int inches) method. The method takes the number of inches. Your task is to make the method return the number of full feet represented by the variable inches. (1 feet = 12 in).

Consider this example:
The getFeetFromInches method is called with the argument 243.

Example output:
20

Requirements:

The getFeetFromInches(int) method must be public and static.
The getFeetFromInches method must return an int.
The getFeetFromInches method should not display anything.
The getFeetFromInches method must correctly return the number of full feet represented by the variable inches.

package com.codegym.task.task01.task0131; /* More conversions */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(getFeetFromInches(243)); } public static int getFeetFromInches(int inches) { int getFeetFromInches = 243; return getFeetFromInches / 12; } }

At line 13, inside the parentheses, the variable inches is declared but not given a value. With methods, this is called the parameters. You set the value of the parameters when you call the method in your code, as you did on line 10. So line 10, getFeetFrominches(243), you pass in the parameters '243' to the method, and now 'inches' in the method is set to 243. With your code as it is, you declared a new variable inside the method called 'getFeetFrominches' and set it to 243, then use that for the calculation. Now if you use the method anywhere else, lets say you wanted to figure out how many feet are in 100 inches: getFeetFrominches(100), your code will return the feet from 243 inches instead. Fix your code so it properly uses the variable 'inches'.
