Re: Need a non void method to return the first three characters of a string
Thanks Freaky Chris.
That link lead me to solving my problem.
In case anyone was curious to the solution:
//Programming Projects 9.1 public class PP9_1 { //Return the first three letters of the String Kris public static String firstThreeInitials (String name) { String c = name.substring(0,3); return c; } public static void main(String[] args) { String firstThreeInitials = firstThreeInitials("Kris"); System.out.println(firstThreeInitials); } }

You could pass them by reference instead.
