A little help with my program?

[Dooley]

In short, what I'm making here is a little program that when you enter a number in the input, it decides whether or not it is even or odd. Here it is:

import java.io* ;

public class OddEven
{
	public static void main( String args[] )
	{
		BufferedReader inputReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)) ;
		String inputData ;
		try {
			String inputData = inputReader.readLine();
		}
		catch(IOException e) {
			System.out.println("Error reading keyboard input") ;
		
		float f ;
try{
f = Float.parseFloat(inputData) ;
}
catch(NumberFormatException e) {
System.out.println("Invalid value. Did you enter a number?") ;
}


		
		}
		{
			if (inputData % 2 == 0) 
				System.out.println( "Even" );
			else if (inputData % 2 != 0)
				System.out.println( "Odd" );
		}
	}

				
}

When I try to compile it in the Terminal, there is an error

OddEven.java:2: ';' expected
import java.io* ;
              ^
1 error

Could someone help me out here and tell me what to change? Keep in mind that I am very new to programming (literally started yesterday)

Looks like your missing some brackets around the try catches and the ifs.

Brackets may be alright, but your indentation is god-awful so it's very hard to tell. It is to your benefit to try to standardize your indentation.

Regarding your problem, you're missing a period:

import java.io.*;

It looks like you're way over-complicating this. Why are you parsing a float?

public static void main(String[] args) {
		int number = 0;
		Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
		while(true) {
			try {
				System.out.println("Please enter a valid number!");
				number = Integer.parseInt(s.next());
				break;
			} catch(NumberFormatException e) {
				continue;
			}
		}
		if(number % 2 == 0)
		System.out.println("Even");
		else
		System.out.println("Odd");
	}

The above code does exactly what you're trying to do but with half the lines.

First of all remove "{" from this code-
catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error reading keyboard input") ;
__________________________________________________ ______
Then remove a "{" from here-
System.out.println("Invalid value. Did you enter a number?") ;
}

I hope that this will work
