I'm not sure what I did wrong here, this is my code
package methods;
public class example {
public static int sum(int x, int y){
return x+y;
}
public static void printSomething() {
int a = 1;
int b = 2;
System.out.println("The sum of "+ x + " and "+ y +" is "+sum(a,b));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello");
printSomething();
}
}
I want to print the sum of x and y is 3
Try this:
System.out.println("The sum of "+ a + " and "+ b +" is "+sum(a,b));
The parameter names x and y are local to the method definition, in the current scope they're called a and b.
Alternatively, and for consistency's sake you could simply rename a and b to x and y in the printSomething() method. The result will be exactly the same, but now the variables will have the same name.
I am not sure about what you want to achieve, but check if this helps:
package methods;
public class example {
public static int sum(int x, int y){
return x+y;
}
public static void printSomething() {
int a = 1;
int b = 2;
System.out.println("The sum of "+ a + " and "+ b +" is "+sum(a,b));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello");
printSomething();
}
}
package methods;
public class example {
public static int sum(int x, int y){
return x+y;
}
public static void printSomething() {
int a = 1;
int b = 2;
System.out.println("The sum of " + a + " and " + b + " is " + sum(a,b));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello");
printSomething();
}
}
You can't access local variables (such as x, y of sum method) inside other method this way.
x, andy, inside of theprintSomething()method that are not within the scope of that method, and this should prevent your code from compiling -- is this what is wrong? Solution: useaandbthere.System.out.println("The sum of "+ a + " and "+ b +" is "+sum(a,b));System.out.println("The sum of x and y is "+sum(a,b));
