Challenge Task 1 of 1

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{

    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a method named Multiply. Remember
    // to use the "static" and "void" keywords: "static void
    // Multiply" (without quotes). Multiply should take two
    // "double" values as parameters.
    static void Multiply (double firstParameter, double secondParameter)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(firstParameter * secondParameter); 
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // YOUR CODE HERE:
        // Call Multiply with two arguments: 2.5 and 2.
        // YOUR CODE HERE:
        // Call Multiply with two arguments: 6 and 7.
        Console.WriteLine(Multiply);
    }

}

Instead of calling "WriteLine" and passing "Multiply" as the argument, you need to call "Multiply" and pass two number argments. You'll need to do this two times using different arguments.

The instructions say "make a call to Multiply with the arguments 2.5 and 2." and "Then call Multiply again with the arguments 6 and 7."

There are also reminder comments in the code itself.

using System;

class Program {

static void Multiply (double first , double second)
{
    Console.WriteLine(first * second);
    }


static void Main(string[] args)
{
   Multiply(2.5, 2 );

   Multiply(6, 7);
}

} it works on (treehouse Workspaces) but does not work on Code Challenge ! I don't know why!!!!

This code worked for me as well, but I couldn't determine why mine wouldn't work... The"bummer" here didn't help me .

Hi all,

Why am I getting a bummer message on this one. When I press show preview it gives me 5 and 42 but it says bummer we ran the multiply function and got a different result.

class Program { static double Multiply(double first, double second) { return first * second; }

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine(Multiply(2.5, 2));
    Console.WriteLine(Multiply(6,7));
}

Next time start a new question instead of asking one in an answer. Otherwise, it's likely to only be seen by someone who asked or answered the old question.

But the instructions say that WriteLine should be called inside your Multiply method. Then you will only add calls to your method in Main (without nesting them in other calls).

The inline comments also say that the new method should be declared as static void Multiply (so id does not return anything).
