Pay raise

Question about the task

Resolved

my program is correct . and output showing while running the code is: Your salary is:8000 dollars per month. but when I am heading towards verifying. the test was failed . and the notification for the task is ::: Carefully check the displayed text. It looks like you made a typo or forgot to add 1000. I can't understand what is ground in my code ... plz, help...

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) { salary(7000); } public static void salary(int a) { a=a+ 1000; System.out.println("Your salary is:" +a+ " dollars per month."); } }

Since I struggled with this once, I'll give the approach to it. You need to set an integer and set its value to 1000. Then, set another integer and set its value to be the sum of a, which you don't need to identify it because it was already identified, with the new integer you made in the first step. Last step is to print.

Incorrect. His issue is extremely simple, because what he did was in fact correct. But because this thing checks the string for exact matches it gave him an error, because he is missing a space on the line "your salary is:" should be "your salary is: ". BTW you dont need to create a separate integer value, because the parameter will take care of that. The best approach for this level (based on what people know by that point of the tasks), would be to simply do a = a + 1000; Or a += 1000.

It works both ways. I got it right with the way I explained, but you're right, it can be done easier.

Use this one. System.out.println("Your salary is: "+(a+1000)+" dollars per month."); and dont forget to add fullstop at the end..

System.out.println("Your salary is: "+(a+1000)+" dollars per month.");

I have observed that the "verify" section is very strict in judging the output. The output MUST exactly match the specified requirements. This is because the website is trying to use the same strict guidelines which we will find in the real world programming. The solution proposed by Haitange is correct. Just remove the spaces between the printed variable and the concatenation strings and you will get the required output.

Shuu, I cant believe I did this in 7 attempts. It will run successfully but will not be verified until you eliminate the spaces between the printed variable and the concatenation signs.. You will mess up if you like spacing, LOL.

write hackSalary in place of ~~salary~~ in line no. 9 and 12. Hope this will help you. Thank you

solution

Just copy condition example near your output:

Your salary is: 9000 dollars per month.
Your salary is:8000 dollars per month.
