Your variable is never read

[singularity]

Hi, I am not sure whether I have to put the scanner class in main function or some other part of prog.
My code is as follows , it doesn't work since

char ch = read.charAt(0);

is never read.
My code is as follows:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class calculator {
 int x, y ;
    
	
	int calc() {
		
		int sum = x+y;
		return sum;
		
	}
			
		public static void main(String args[]) {
			Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
			String read = input.nextLine();
			char ch = read.charAt(0);	
			calculator c = new calculator();
			
			System.out.println("Enter The First No.");
			c.x = input.nextInt();
			System.out.println("Enter The Second  No.");
			c.y = input.nextInt();
			
			System.out.println("The sum is " +c.calc());
			
		}
		
	}

Please give me some guidance regarding scanner classes as to what is its exact position in program classes or functions or main classes.
If I run the program I dont get any output.
Thanks for the help.

Just get rid of it then:

public static void main(String args[]) {
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		calculator c = new calculator();
			
		System.out.println("Enter The First No.");
		c.x = input.nextInt();
		System.out.println("Enter The Second  No.");
		c.y = input.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("The sum is " +c.calc());
		
}

You say you don't get any output, but if I run it I get some output.

I think the problem is that you are reading three lines, whereas you only want to read 2.

The first line you don't really do anything with ( apart from assign the first character to the variable ch).

the second and third lines are read in integers, so if you type in integers they are handled correctly and the sum of them is printed out:

The output from your code, from me entering 1, 1, 2:

1
Enter The First No.
1
Enter The Second  No.
2
The sum is 3

Actually I want to continue the program to run as long as user enters Y and should stop if user enters N, that is why I had used chartAt() initialy.
Removing charAt() makes the prog to run only for one case.

At the moment the program starts and the beginning, executes each line of code in turn then finishes.

There is nothing there to tell it to repeat. I would recommend using a while loop for that.
