Where is the mistake?

Question

Java

public static String rhymeCount() {
}
Throws an error: "Illegal modifier for parameter rhymeCount; only final is permitted".
What is the problem ?
JDK 8.

Answer 1

Local variables and parameters cannot have public or private modifier. You can only give final to them.

Remove public from the method

Answer 2

You can't just take and declare a static variable inside a method!
