    public Float add(float baseValue, float difference) {
        return baseValue + difference;
    }

    public Boolean isLessThan(int x, int y) {
        return x < y;
    }

You don't have to store the result in a variable then return it. You can return the result in one line. ``` public Float add(float baseValue, float difference) { return baseValue + difference; } ``` For the predicate class, the comparison returns a boolean, so you don't need the if clause. ``` public Boolean isLessThan(int x, int y) { return x < y; } ``` Your middleCharacter test should not pass all test. Please fix it and send me a message when you're done.
