Reading characters into a string

[Teclis]

I am wanting to enter the name "Smith" into String name.

while(counter <= 3)
{
   name = in.next();
   wages = scan.nextDouble();
   hoursWorked = scan.nextDouble();

I keep getting the error:
Lab8.java:41: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable in
location: class Lab8
name = in.next();
^

With the carrot pointing at the in.
What can/should I do?

EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't realize that between the text book style and my own that "in.next" in the text book is "scan.next" for me.

Mark your thread solved with the thread tools if you are done. Also check out the scanner nextLine method.

I had to use scan.next() because the input I had to manipulate was "Smith 24.5 40".
