Under discussion

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) { //write your code here a=8000; int b=a+1000; System.out.println("Your salary is: " +b+ " dollars per month."); } }

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.

Remove line number 14. You should not override value of a parameter variable.

You should remove the "line a=8000" in your hackSalary method. a is a variable, that is set when you call the method. In the above example, the method hackSalary is called with a=7000 (hackSalary(7000)) from the main method. In the hackSalary method, you just have to calculate what a new salary would be, given ANY value of a. (So a + 1000) Hope this explanation helps a little :-)
