how to solve his problem

Amigo, today our task is to fill the ship's pool. Calculate how many liters of water are needed to fill the pool all the way up. The pool is known to have linear dimensions a x b x c, given in meters.
These dimensions are passed to the getVolume method. The method should return the number of liters of water needed to fill the pool.

Consider this example:
The getVolume method is called with the arguments 25, 5, and 2.

Example output:
250000

Requirements:

The getVolume(int, int, int) method must be public and static.
The getVolume(int, int, int) method must return a long.
The getVolume(int, int, int) method should not display anything.
The getVolume(int, int, int) method must return the correct amount of water, in liters, that is needed to fill the pool.

package com.codegym.task.task01.task0134; /* Fill a pool with water */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(getVolume(25, 5, 2)); } public static long getVolume(int a, int b, int c) { double m = a * b * c; //25,5,and 2 return a * b * c; } }

You should return m, not the formula. Second, don't forget to multiply it by a 1000, since it should be in liters, not m3. And lastly, you should use int, not double, since it's returning a whole number. Good luck!

package com.codegym.task.task01.task0134;

/*
Fill a pool with water

*/

public class Solution {


    public static long getVolume(int a, int b, int c) {
        long volume = a * b * c; // general formula
        return volume *1000; // 1 Cubic meter is 1000 liters.
    }

     public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(getVolume(25, 5, 2));
    }

}

double m gives you a volume in meter but you need it in liters. So you need to multiply 250m3 * 1000

useful

code is right. but according to the condition : convert meters into liters . you simply return the value multiplied by 1000.
