Return string from a method

[umaza]

How do I return string from a method, I tried following code bellow as a test, it compiles but it doesn't do anything

Turing:

public class TriangleCatFour {   public static void main (String[] args)   {     triangle(4,4,4);   }   public static String triangle(int side1, int side2, int side3)   {     return ("Triangle: equilateral and acute");   } }

I am just testing and before I progress, I want to be able to accomplish this.
I have an assignment and my final goal is: http://webteach.net/ics3u/methods/methodLab.html

It's not doing anything because you're not doing anything with it. Try System.out.println(triangle(4,4,4));

Something like this

code:

public class TriangleCatFour {         private int s1;         private int s2;         private int s3;         public static void main(String[] args)         {                 TriangleCatFour triangle1 = new TriangleCatFour(4,4,4);                 System.out.println(triangle1);         }         public TriangleCatFour(int s1, int s2, int s3)         {                 this.s1 = s1;                 this.s2 = s2;                 this.s3 = s3;         }         public String toString()         {                 if(s1 == s2 && s1 == s3)                         return "Triangle: equilateral and acute";                 else                         return "Triangle: not equilateral and acute";         } }
