For this first task you want to create the method called getCountOfLetter. Let's make it public and build it up from there. We start with:
public getCountOfLetter(){
}
This is incomplete. We know that the method should return an int. The return type goes in front of the method name, after public:
public int getCountOfLetter(){
}
The task says that the method should receive a char called letter as a parameter. Parameters go inside the parentheses after the method name. That looks like:
public int getCountOfLetter(char letter){
}
As the method returns an int for this first task, we just want to return zero inside the method; i.e. within the curly braces:
public int getCountOfLetter(char letter){
return 0;
}
That's the first task explained for you - let me know how you get on and that this makes sense.
Steve.
