How do I call a method and its parameters so that the program can print out all the mulitplications between 11 to 44?

See more:

Right now my code calls the method but it only calls a specific argument (parameter) that I myself put in. I would instead want it to call all the arguments listed below in just 1 System.out.print();

The code below is both how the program is meant to run and how it looks at the moment.

Any type of help is appreciated!

Just switching the variable "a" with f1 * f2 is not what I want in this code, even though it would be super easy.

What I have tried:

public class ExampleProgram {

	public static int multiply(int factorOne, int factorTwo) {
		return factorOne * factorTwo;
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		for (int f1 = 1; f1 < 5; f1++) {
			for (int f2 = 1; f2 < 5; f2++) {
			     int a = multiply(1, 1);

				System.out.println(f1 + "*" + f2 + " är " + a);
			}
		}
	}

}

Expected
1*1 är 1
1*2 är 2
1*3 är 3
1*4 är 4
2*1 är 2
2*2 är 4
2*3 är 6
2*4 är 8
3*1 är 3
3*2 är 6
3*3 är 9
3*4 är 12
4*1 är 4
4*2 är 8
4*3 är 12
4*4 är 16

Got 
1*1 är 1
1*2 är 1
1*3 är 1
1*4 är 1
2*1 är 1
2*2 är 1
2*3 är 1
2*4 är 1
3*1 är 1
3*2 är 1
3*3 är 1
3*4 är 1
4*1 är 1
4*2 är 1
4*3 är 1
4*4 är 1

try to replace

Java

int a = multiply(1, 1);

with

Java

int a = multiply(f1, f2);

Your code do not behave the way you expect, or you don't understand why !

There is an almost universal solution: Run your code on debugger step by step, inspect variables.
The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't know what your code is supposed to do, it don't find bugs, it just help you to by showing you what is going on. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
To see what your code is doing: Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute.
