Need Help with Creating Java Methods

[IvanSnipedYu]

I'm trying to learn creating java methods rn but for some reason I can't get something like this to work. Can someone please explain to me what I did wrong and how I can fix it.

 

import java.util.Scanner;
public class HW06P01 {

	public static int findTerm(int n){
		int result;
		result = ((n(7*n-3))/5);
		return result;
	}
	
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int a = 1;
		findTerm(a);

	}

}

What's wrong exactly?

 

Just guessing, I'd say this:

result = ((n(7*n-3))/5);

Needs another multiplication symbol, like this:

result = ((n*(7*n-3))/5);

It gives me a compilation error. I just noticed the thing you were pointing out. I changed it but now I get no output.

You mean mean it doesn't tell you the result?

You need to ask it to print to the console.

 

Here's the method to do that:

system.out.println( "<something to print>" )
