    Would appreciate any help! Thanks!

    }

    public double circumference(double radius) {

    Have you tried debugging the code to see that is it being executed as expected and that expected values are computed.
    One way to do that is add print statements that print the value of all the variables so you can see if the code is executed and if it is computing the correct values.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    not sure how to interpret the results.
    Copy what is printed and post it here if you need help.

    Be sure all print statements print unique values so the source of the values printed is known:
    System.out.println("1variable="+ variable);
     
    ...
     
    System.out.println("2variable="+ variable);
    Note the 1 and 2 make the print outs unique.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
