Value-returning Method

[aahmad21]

public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		
		double cups, ounces;
		
		System.out.println("Enter number of cups");
	        cups = getCups(); :wave:
		ounces = CupsToOunces(cups);
		displayResults(cups,ounces);
		
		System.exit(0);
		
	}
		
	

		
		
		public static double getCups(double numberOfCups)
		
		{
			
		
			
			Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
			
			numberOfCups = input.nextDouble();
			
			return numberOfCups;

Can you guys advise on the method call getCups();.

You do not need to pass in the argument (double numberOfCups) to getCups. You should declare numberOfCups as a double within the method.
You could make the method more resilient. What would happen if the user entered a string (e.g. "Hello") or a negative number?
You could pass the question string "Enter number of cups" as a String argument, check that the user enters a sensible value and return the value if it is, otherwise provide some guidance and ask the question again.
