For anyone one's confused about these tasks, there are some info might be useful:
"return Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getMethodName();}"
This code is a method that returns the name of the method that called the current method, using the stack trace of the currently executing thread in Java.
Let's break it down:
Thread.currentThread() returns a reference to the currently executing thread.
getStackTrace() returns an array of StackTraceElement objects representing the method call stack for that thread.
[2] is used to access the third element of the stack trace array (the element at index 0 is the method that called getStackTrace(), the element at index 1 is the getStackTrace() method itself, and the element at index 2 is the method that called the method that called getStackTrace()).
getMethodName() is called on the StackTraceElement object at index 2 to retrieve the name of the method that called the current method.
So in summary, return Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getMethodName(); returns the name of the method that called the current method, using the stack trace of the currently executing thread.

The worst lesson of all, I understand that as a programmer you have to wake up but could you explain something? It is supposed that the course is to learn and if they put you some exercises that you do not even know where to start looking for when it would be much more useful to explain it well and instead of wasting time searching without success, practice more, I say...
I'm using Google. And I downloaded Java API document at Level 09. I don't ask CodeGym to explain everything. But at least give us some basics or keywords. This lesson is confusing.
Instead of wasting so much time looking around independently, I do prefer to be better prepared for the challenges. Concerning asking questions: The Codegym team and community are very active and responsive, but sometimes it takes time to get an answer. Quite simply, codegym is not a personal tutoring platform where the direct nature of the interaction is prominent. Many of us simply do need more explanations.
