Welcome! Make sure that you’re only providing the method definition, and not an entire class. (Our playgrounds and homework environment work a bit differently from Visual Studio.)

Here’s an example to get you started:

int calculateGrossProfit(int[] first, int[] second) {
  return 0;
}

In a few more lessons we’ll have you writing complete classes, which will look more like what you’d find in Visual Studio Code.

FYI, learncs.online has a playground that you can use to experiment with your code. Here’s an example.
