An integer will be passed to your method. Take that value and add a constant to it$.$ That constant is available within the class, to all methods found inside the class.

This is important because this provides a way of providing the same values to multiple methods used by objects based on a particular class. Furthermore, if that constant is found to be private $($private keyword$),$ then it's only available within the class $($or object$)$ and is not directly accessible outside.

In this case, the class$-$wide constant $($final keyword$)$ has a value of $100.$ Modify the method to permit that value to be added to whatever value is passed to your method.

So$,$ if $-1$ is passed to your method, your method should output $99($i$.$e$.-1+100).$

In this activity you will see variables like this:

private static final int MY$\_$VALUE $=56$;

This is a constant $($keyword final$)$ integer called MY$\_$VALUE that can be used in a global context, within the class and between objects that share the same class $($keyword static$).$ Because it is private, MY$\_$VALUE cannot be directly accessed from outside the class or an object created from the class.

This touches on the concept of scope. Variables created in one location of your program may not be accessible outside of that location. The scope $($LinkedIn Learning link$)$ limits where you can use variables.

In summary, these keywords are important:

private: the value can't be seen or used outside the class or object.

static: the value is global $($across multiple methods$)$ inside the class or object.

final: the value is not a variable. It won't change. Basically, a constant.An integer will be passed to your method. Take that value and add a constant to it$.$ That constant is available within the class, to all methods found inside the class.
