Answer 1

Remove line 19. It's unreachable code after a return statement.
Optionally, you can get rid of the x and y variables too if you just simply return the calculation.

return (a + b + c + d) / 4.0;

Otherwise, your code is syntaxually correct.

Answer 2

Your getAverageScore() method needs to accept 4 parameters of type double then return the average (add them together and divide by 4.0) of the arguments passed to the method as a double.

Answer 3

Thank you so much ChaoticDawg I am new to coding but im starting to understand a lot more. For instance you just taught me there is no need for a System.out.println() if there is a return statement.

Answer 4

ChaoticDawg I know what to do in theory and in my head. I know how to find the average. I just dont understand the syntax of how to code it and in what order. This is what I came up with thus far:
