Help with program class?

Create a class named Eggs. Its main() method holds an integer variable named eggs to which you will assign a value entered by a user at the keyboard. Create a method to which you pass eggs. The method displays the eggs in dozens; for example, 50 eggs is 4 full dozen(with 2 eggs remaining).


Am I close with this? Can you point me in the right direction please?


//Import necessary packages
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Eggs
{
public static void main (String args[])
{

//Declare variables
int eggs;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

//Get user input
System.out.print("How many eggs do you have? ");
eggs = input.nextInt();
int full = eggs/12;
remaining = eggs%12;

}
public class calculateEggs(int eggs);
{
System.out.print("You have " + full + "eggs" + "with" + remaining + "eggs remaining");

}
}

Does that compile? If not and you cannot understand the compiler message, post it and maybe someone can explain it.

Read the question closely. You are asked to "Create a method to which you pass eggs" you weren't asked to create any more classes. So

public class calculateEggs(int eggs);
{
    System.out.print(" // etc

should probably be

static void displayCount(int eggs)
{
    System.out.print(" // etc

Hi,
That program will not compile. When you attempt to run it you will get a compilation error message:

'{' expected

//Import necessary packages
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Eggs
{
public static void main (String args[])
{

//Declare variables
int eggs;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

//Get user input
System.out.print("How many eggs do you have? ");
eggs = input.nextInt();
int full = eggs/12;
remaining = eggs%12;

}
public class calculateEggs(int eggs);
{
System.out.print("You have " + full + "eggs" + "with" + remaining + "eggs remaining");

}
}

As someone has already mentioned, the line of code 'public class calculateEggs(int eggs);' is not necessary. When you comment that line out and run your code again, you get another error message 'cannot find symbol - variable remaining'. Which means you do not really need to create another class for calculateEggs();

I think a bit of modification to you code will do the task.
