My code is like:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class CalcPyramidVolume {
public static void pyramidVolume (double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight) {
double volume;
volume = baseLength * baseWidth * pyramidHeight * 1/3;
return;
}
public static void main (String [] args) {
System.out.println("Volume for 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 is: " + pyramidVolume(1.0, 1.0, 1.0));
return;
}
}
And it said the print can't be done in the void type. I just don't understand why...
A void method does not return anything you could append to that String in the main method. You would need to make the method return a double and then return your variable volume:
public static double pyramidVolume (double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight) {
double volume;
volume = baseLength * baseWidth * pyramidHeight * 1/3;
return volume;
}
or shorter:
public static double pyramidVolume (double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight) {
return baseLength * baseWidth * pyramidHeight * 1/3;
}
