PHP Object-Oriented PHP Basics Building the Recipe Static

The accepted parameter $room will be an object which has a method named getDimensions. Add a return value to the details

The accepted parameter $room will be an object which has a method named getDimensions. Add a return value to the detailsKitchen method that displays "Kitchen Dimensions: length x width", where length x width is returned from the displayDimensions method. You will need to call the static method displayDimensions from within the Render class and pass the dimensions from the $room object using the getDimensions method Final Output Example: Kitchen Dimensions: 12 x 14

guys can you help me to solve this I'm hands up no idea how to solve this here is the link

index.php
<?php

class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size){
    return $size[0] . " x " . $size[1];
    }
  public static function detailsKitchen($room){
    return "Kitchen Dimensions" . self :: displayDimensions();
  }
}


?>

You've got it, you just forgot to address the part that says "pass the dimensions from the $room object using the getDimensions method". So ask yourself "How do I pass a method from another object into the displayDimensions() method?"

it seems to accept:

<?php
class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size){
    return $size[0] . " x " . $size[1];
    }

    public static function detailsKitchen($room){
        return "Kitchen Dimensions: " .self::displayDimensions($room->getDimensions());
  }
}
?>

check this code <?php class Render { public static function displayDimensions($size){ return "$size[0] x $size[1]"; }

public static function detailsKitchen($room){
    return "Kitchen Dimensions: " .self::displayDimensions($room->getDimensions());

} } ?>
