Maps

[natep67]

I almost have this done but im running into a few problems especially on lines 23 and 24(the beginning of the if statement). i get this error on both items "Syntax error on token ">", Expression expected after this token". Please help me out!

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Info{
   static String name;
   static int age;
  public Info(final String name, final int age){
      Info.name = name;
      Info.age = age;
  }
  {
       name = People.aName;
       }
  {
       age= People.numberCount;
       }


    public interface Maps<K, V> {
         HashMap<String, Info>m= new HashMap<String, Info>();
         public class If {
                 public void main(String[] args) {
                     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

                     if (input.hasNext()= Maps<K>) {
                         System.out.println(Maps<K, V>);
                     } else {
                         System.out.println("Sorry, Name not entered. Try again");
                     }
                         

             }

         }

Your brackets are all messed up. I'm not sure what your trying to do.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Info{
   [COLOR="DarkRed"]static String name;  // maybe public static?[/COLOR]
   [COLOR="DarkRed"]static int age;  // maybe public static?[/COLOR]
  public Info(final String name, final int age){
      Info.name = name;
      Info.age = age;
  } [COLOR="DarkRed"]// This is the end of the constructor [/COLOR] 
  [COLOR="DarkRed"]// Whats this supposed to be? [/COLOR] 
  {
       name = People.aName;
  }
  {
       age= People.numberCount;
  }

    [COLOR="DarkRed"]// is this within the Info class? [/COLOR] 
    [COLOR="DarkRed"]/* Also note that interfaces can't have defined methods or variables. */[/COLOR] 
    public interface Maps<K, V> {
         HashMap<String, Info>m= new HashMap<String, Info>(); 
         public class If {
                 public void main(String[] args) {
                     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

                     if (input.hasNext()= Maps<K>) {
                         System.out.println(Maps<K, V>);
                     } else {
                         System.out.println("Sorry, Name not entered. Try again");
                     }
                         

             }

         }

Im trying to set up my code so when the user inputs a name and Birthday it assigns the name as the key and the birthday as the value of a map. So when the user inputs a name it will pull up the info attached to it.
Improved Code

  import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Info{
  private String name;
  private  int age;
  public Info(final String name, final int age){  
  
   this.name = name;
   this.age = age;
  }
	public interface Maps<K, V> {
		 HashMap<String, Info>m= new HashMap<String, Info>();
		 public class If {
		 	    public void main(String[] args) {
		             Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		 	        if (input.hasNext()= Maps<K>) {
		 	        	System.out.println(Maps<K, V>);
		 	        } else {
		 	        	System.out.println("Sorry, Name not entered. Try again");
		 	        }
		 	            

		 	}

		 }

}

}

[Mr.Beans]

Create a map object which holds the name and the birthday
Maybe something like

        Map<String, Calendar> myMap = new HashMap<String, Calendar>();
        Calendar myBDay = Calendar.getInstance();
        myBDay.set(1991, 12, 22);
        myMap.put("Joseph M. Pond", myBDay);

I am doing a whole lot better this morning. i was working on this and i think i have solved it for what i want except for one problem. On line 16, i get all these errors.-
Syntax error on tokens, ConstructorHeaderName expected
instead
- Syntax error on token "(", delete this token
- Syntax error on token ")", delete this token
- Syntax error on token "(", < expected
- Watchpoint:Info [access and modification] - People
I realize a lot of it is syntax but i don't know what to do with the parentheses
New Code

import java.util.Set;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Info{
  private  int destinyNumber;
  private  int lifePathNumber;
  public Info(final int destinyNumber, final int lifePathNumber){  
 
   this.destinyNumber = destinyNumber;
   this.lifePathNumber = lifePathNumber;
  }
Map<String, Info> myMap = new HashMap<String, Info>();
//create an Info item to put into the map, keyed by its name
Info item = new Info(destinyNumber ,lifePathNumber);
 myMap.put (People.sum , People.numberCount));
         public class If {
             {
                     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
                     if (input.hasNext(People.aName)) {
                         System.out.println(People.numberCount);
                     } else {
                         System.out.println("Sorry, Name not entered. Try again");
                     }
                         
 
             }
 
         }
 
}
 
}

myMap.put (People.sum , People.numberCount[COLOR="Red"])[/COLOR]);

This is extra ')'

Removing that did nothing. What i did do to remove almost all of the errors was replace the ) with >. this got rid of all of the problems but these;

Syntax error on token ">", VariableDeclarator expected after
this token

I still have no clue what to do to resolve those

[emceenugget]

it doesn't matter how many errors you get but that you get errors. often, a typo will conceal errors proceeding it because java can't understand the rest of a statement if the beginning doesn't make sense. don't insert random symbols/characters in hopes that it will solve your issue. instead, look at what the compiler is telling you is wrong and solve them one at a time. almost all the time, you won't solve everything with a single character.

anyways, your commands aren't even in a method from what i can tell. start there.

Thanks all of you . i figured it out
