Unsolved errors

[Andee]

The following lines of code

System.out.print("Player Two: Enter Guess(1) for First Word");
String GuessOne = Keyboard.readString();


Are giving me these errors :
<Identifier> expected > for line one, build output pointing near the bracket.
and
Illegal start of type > pointing behind the bracket

Please help. Thanks :eek:

Does that line really occur as line #1 of your code? Isn't that line somewhere in a method and inside a class definition? Java is not Basic.

hi, It's not the first line in the whole program but on removing it and replacing with other code there are no errors.

Show us some more code because I guess the compiler is upset because it saw that code where it doesn't belong (not inside a method).

System.out.println("Player One: Enter first word");
String Word1 = Keyboard.readString();

System.out.println("Swap Players");
System.out.println("Player Two: Enter first word Guess_1");

//counting the characters in Word1
int i = 0;
while (i < Word1.length( ))
{ i++;
}
int x = i;


//Display dashes
int u = 0;
do {
u++;
System.out.print("_ ");

}
while (u!=x);

}
//Player Two enters Guess(1) for Word1


System.out.print("Player Two: Enter Guess(1) for First Word");
String WordOneGuessone = Keyboard.readString();


}

I appreciate your help.

Show us the lines before the lines that are causing the trouble; we need to see some context, not a bunch of statements.

That's all the program.
It's homework for students who have been learning java for some weeks, it's really simple however the error is keeping me from being able to finish it.
It's done using Jcreator

So those lines you showed us in your first post were the first lines; that is not valid Java; you need to define a class with at least one method in it; the method body defines those statements. Java is not Basic. Please read a tutorial that covers the basics of Java before you start coding anything.

public class LastHangman {

public static void main(String[] args) {

that?
I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm new to java. However the programs always work after fixing minor errors. And I'm sure my teacher would get to that.

Something like that yes; the program as you showed us could never have worked because there are so many syntax errors in it. You are possibly working on some other code that you haven't showed us so we can't answer any questions about it.
