+# avoid print statements
+
+Try removing statements such as `System.out.println()` from your code.
+Exercise tests require the solution to _return_ values from methods instead of printing them.
+
+Usually, statements like these are added to help debug the code.
+However, a better approach is to debug the code while running one or more unit tests.
+This has the added advantage that one can focus on debugging a specific test case.
+
+Here are some links that explain how to debug Java code while running unit tests in various IDEs:

+# do not use main method
+
+Try removing the `main` method from your code.
+Exercise tests don't require solutions to have a `main` method and having one makes the code slightly harder to read.

+Usually, a `main` method is added to help debug the code.
