personalizing instructions

[_inase]

I'm writing a program that prompts the user to enter information about their car in order to calculate various costs.
I already prompted the user to enter their name, but I also want the other prompts to include their name so it's more personalized.
I tried different ways but I get an error, please help!:eek:
Here's a piece of my program...
For example I want it to say "(name) enter the make and model of your car"

import java.util.*;
public class CarCosts
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner keys=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Welcome, this program will determine the cost of owning and operating your car for the number of years you are in college.");
{

System.out.println("Please enter your name: ");
String firstName = keys.next();
System.out.println("Enter the make and model of your car: ");
String carModel = keys.next();
System.out.println("Enter the price of your car: ");
double initialPrice = keys.nextDouble();

but I get an error

Wow, that's terrible. What do you want us to do about it? Perhaps if you told us what error you got we might be able to help.

For example I want it to say "(name) enter the make and model of your car"

Well you did store the users name in a variable so it is just a matter of adding the variable into the print statement. Try a see if you can do it yourself without me showing. Remember if you get an error post your code and the EXACT error message.

I figured it out already. Thanks

Well done but remember in future we do not read minds and statements like "I got an error" or "my code doesn't work" provides zero information.
