Hello!
I'm having trouble getting though the second objective https://teamtreehouse.com/library/objectoriented-php-basics-2/building-the-recipe/static
The accepted parameter $size will be an array containing length and width in that order. Add a return value to the displayDimensions method that returns these values as a string "length x width".
class Render { public static function displayDimensions($size) {
}
}
I don't know where to place the array, I tried this from above but it didn't work: displayDimensions($size = array($length, $width)) { return ........ }
Can someone please tell me how to solve this?
Thanks1!!

Treehouse TeacherHi there! The method you're defining accepts an array as a parameter. So really, you just need to access the array that's coming in and use the two elements to return the appropriate string. I'll show you how I did step 2 and then walk you through it.
<?php
class Render {
public static function displayDimensions($size) {
return $size[0] . " x " . $size[1];
}
}
?>
Here we define our method to accept a parameter named $size. The challenge explicitly says that length and width will be given in that order. Which means that length will be at the 0 index of the array, and the width will be at the 1 index of the array. But then we need to use those in conjunction with concatenation to return the elements with a " x " in between. Hope this helps!
