  • Top paragraph asks us to "return following int", yet Java method doStuff returns a String rather than an int.

  • No, method "static int doStuff(String text){ .....}" starts with int, therefore it must return an int. Btw, in square brakets "text" is a value that we put in this method in the main class.
