Question

Can some explain how i’m getting this answer:

three times two = 6

Code:

public class Params1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String one = "two";
        String two = "three";
        String three = "1";
        int number = 20;
        sentence(one, two, 3);
    }

    public static void sentence(String three, String one, int number) {
        String str1 = one + " times " + three + " = " + (number * 2);
    }

}

Here’s an useful diagram :

I hope it’s clear.

And here’s how you could have made the same code less confusing :

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String a = "three";
        String b = "two";
        sentence(a, b, 3);
    }

    public static void sentence(String a, String b, int number) {
        String str1 = a + " times " + b + " = " + (number * 2);
        System.out.println(str1); // to let you inspect the value
    }
