    Default What is wrong with my code.

    I looked up some Java problems and made a code for one but it keeps giving the same error on the public classes
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class NumbersDemo
    [{
    public static void main (String args[])
    {
    int a = 5;
    int b = 7;
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus10(a) {
    System.out.println(a+10);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus10(b) {
    System.out.println(b+10);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus100(a) {
    System.out.println(a+100);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus100(b) {
    System.out.println(b+100);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus1000(a) {
    System.out.println(a+1000);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus1000(b) {
    System.out.println(b+1000);
    }
    public static void displayTwiceTheNumber(a) {
    System.out.println(a*2);
    }
    public static void displayTwiceTheNumber(b) {
    System.out.println(b*2);
    }

    }]

    It keeps giving me this error and I cant seem to fix it

    ----jGRASP exec: javac -g NumbersDemo.java

    NumbersDemo.java:9: error: <identifier> expected
    public static void displayNumberPlus10(a) {
    There needs to be a definition for the data type of the method's argument. For example:
    public static void displayNumberPlus10(int a) {


    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    Ok that fixed that error but now it gives the error, **error: method displayNumberPlus100(int) is already defined in class NumbersDemo**, for every (int b)

    Default Help please

    I was writing some practice codes and keep getting the same error.


    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class NumbersDemo
    {
    public static void main (String args[])
    {
    int a = 5;
    int b = 7;
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus10(int a) {
    System.out.println(a+10);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus10(int b) {
    System.out.println(b+10);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus100(int a) {
    System.out.println(a+100);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus100(int b) {
    System.out.println(b+100);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus1000(int a) {
    System.out.println(a+1000);
    }
    public static void displayNumberPlus1000(int b) {
    System.out.println(b+1000);
    }
    public static void displayTwiceTheNumber(int a) {
    System.out.println(a*2);
    }
    public static void displayTwiceTheNumber(int b) {
    System.out.println(b*2);
    }

    }



    I continue to get the error, ***error: method displayNumberPlus100(int) is already defined in class NumbersDemo***

    method displayNumberPlus100(int) is already defined
    You can only define a method with the same arguments once in a class.

    Take a look at the tutorial: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutor...O/methods.html

    Look at how to use code tags again. the full text must be used not just a [
