It's good to be a programmer: your salary will grow rapidly. And if this doesn't happen, you can influence the situation with a little help from your hacker friends. Imagine that you have access to the automated payroll system. You need to write an interceptor method that will add $1000 to each salary payment.

a = a + 1000; System.out.println("Your salary is: " + a + " dollars per month.");

In the hackSalary method, create a new integer called x which adds 1000 to int a (salary). Then in the same method, print the ("required text but include " + yourNewInteger + "in the argument.") Don't forget correct punctuation :O

In the hackSalary method you should include one line with the output, with the text required, inserting your operation and finishing wit the other text required. Just concatenate these wit symbol '+'

It took 32 tries to realize that it didn't want println, it wanted print lol

Couldn't work this out when I thought that it was correct. Had to get help and I'd missed the " : " got to read these questions better, silly mistake again.

Uh noo, I didn't see my mistake for a soooo long time: It was just "...per months."

I tried it 17 times even though I nearly had it right the first time. I was wondering what was wrong every time I would change something a little. Then it hit me! I forgot the Colon " : " after the " is " in the string. Your salary is: 8000 dollars per month. I kept putting it like this "Your salary is " Instead of like this "Your salary is: " If you got it wrong just check it over again in detail to make sure you did not miss anything like I did the first few times. Even a missing colon " : " can mess you up on this one.
