Body
<pre><code>int newVariable = return methodFromWhichDataIsReturned(fieldReturnedFromMethod); </code></pre> The keyword <code>return</code> cannot be placed there. It indicates that you wish to exit the method that is currently executing so it can only be placed at the beginning of a line, such as <code>return 3;</code> When you're calling a method that returns a value, there's no need to place <code>return</code> in front. In other words, it should be: <pre><code>int newVariable = return methodFromWhichDataIsReturned(fieldReturnedFromMethod); </code></pre> The method rollTheDice should more likely be written as: <pre><code>int rollNum; int[] rolledDie = new int[DICE_TO_ROLL]; for (rollNum = 1; rollNum <= DICE_TO_ROLL; rollNum++) { rolledDie[rollNum - 1] = rollADie(HIGHEST_DIE_VALUE, LOWEST_DIE_VALUE); } return rolledDie; </code></pre> In the second line above, we're creating a new array with <code>DICE_TO_ROll</code> number of elements. This array has integers and each integer will be 0 by default. We're now going to roll a die and each time rollADie has computed a value, we'll store it in <code>rollADie</code> at position <code>rollNum - 1</code> (as arrays start at 0, so the first element is at <code>rolledDie[0]</code>). In the last line, we're returning the array from this method. Lastly, in various languages it is a convention to write the names of constants in capitals and the names of regular variables otherwise. For example, the following line: <pre><code>public static int rollADie(int HIGHEST_DIE_VALUE,int LOWEST_DIE_VALUE) </code></pre> would commonly be written as: <pre><code>public static int rollADie(int highestDieValue, int lowestDieValue) </code></pre> or: <pre><code>public static int rollADie(int highest_die_value, int lowest_die_value) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
