Errors with simple program... PLEASE HELP ME!!!

[maxpower1000sa]

I am supposed to be writing this program and this is what I have so far...

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class assignment
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
{
double quiz1, quiz2, quiz3, quiz4;
double average;
String firstName;
String lastName;

Scanner inFile =
new Scanner(system.n);

PrintWriter outFile = new
PrintWriter("testavg.out");

firstName = inFile.next();
lastName = inFile.next();

outFile.println("Student Name: "
+ firstName + " " + lastName);

quiz1 = inFile.nextDouble();
quiz2 = inFile.nextDouble();
quiz3 = inFile.nextDouble();
quiz4 = inFile.nextDouble();

average = (quiz1 + quiz2 + quiz3 + quiz4) / 4.0;
outFile.printf("Average quiz score: %5.2f %n",
average);

if (average>=90)System.out.println("A");
else if (average>=80)System.out.print("B");
else if (average>=70)System.out.print("C");
else if (average>=60)System.out.print("D");
else if (average<=50)System.out.print("F");
inFile.close();
outFile.close();
}
}

WHAT I NEED TO DO IS WRITE IT SO THAT THE USER INPUTS A NUMBER OF QUIZES AND IT FINDS THE AVERAGE. AND I CAN NOT FIX THE ERRORS. IE. THE SCANNER ERROR

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Hello. You will likely find that the more relevant information you tell us, the more we'll be able to help you. For instance, if you have a compile error(s), should post the error message(s) here with your question to better let us know just exactly what is going wrong.

Also, you have to be extremely careful with spelling and capitalization when coding in Java.

for instance, here:

Scanner inFile =
new Scanner(system.n);

System.in is not the same as system.n

Best of luck.

I am wondering if you know how to input an amount of quizzes instead of it having a default amount of quizzes set?

You can always get the number of quizzes from the user via your Scanner object, and then use that int to initiate your int array, when you call
int[] intArray = new int[the number goes here]

edit: this is not an Applet question. I'm going to move this to the New to Java section

Alright so I tried what you said and no way I can think of does it work... if you would not mind helping me...

.....
int Scnanner (System.in) intArray = new int[];

//Step 6 - retrieve the five test scores
quiz1 = inFile.nextDouble();
quiz2 = inFile.nextDouble();
quiz3 = inFile.nextDouble();
quiz4 = inFile.nextDouble();

outFile.printf("Quiz scores: %5.2f %5.2f %5.2f "
+ "%5.2f %n", quiz1, quiz2,
quiz3, quiz4);

average = (quiz1 + quiz2 + quiz3 + quiz4) / new int[]; //Step 8
outFile.printf("Average quiz score: %5.2f %n",
average);
if (average>=90)System.out.println("A");
.....

Here are the errors:

/export/home/students/jgiannin/exampleStudentGrade.java:30: ';' expected
int Scnanner System.in intArray = new int[];

/export/home/students/jgiannin/exampleStudentGrade.java:42: array dimension missing

This is wrong:

int Scnanner (System.in) intArray = new int[];

Don't try to combine your Scanner object and your int array as they are two completely different animals. Create your scanner with a correctly spelled System.in object as I mentioned above,

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

then use that Scanner object to get a number from the user, just as you're currently using it to get your quiz scores. Then you use that int obtained to initialize the array, just as you'd initialize any array. Correction though, if your quiz scores are doubles (are you sure that they're doubles? int would make more sense), then you'll want an array of double.
