Question

I'm supposed to find an error in this Java code...but I see none that affects what comes out of the code. Is it the parentheses on line 10?

Answer 1

public class Stuff {
public static void main (String [] arguments) {
int number = 100;
System.out.println("I love the number " + number);
System.out.println("Everyone loves the number.");
number = number + 25;
System.out.println("The number is now " + number);
System.out.println("It is bigger.");
System.out.println("It'll get smaller now.");
number = (number - 100);
System.out.println("It's now" + number);
System.out.println("But everyone still likes it.");
}
}

Answer 2

In line 10 you can take away the (). They are unnecessary and I don't see the point in putting them there. There is also one little thing that I see, and that is in line 11. When I run the program I see there is no space between the string and the number. It shows: It's now25. So you need to add a space to the end of the string. Other than that I don't see a problem within the code. =)

Answer 3

The original code had the space in line 11...guess it was erased somewhere in translation. So the only error in there is in line 10. Thanks for the response!
