My nextint() is causing "symbol not found" The string lines run fine. Please help.

import java.util.*;


public class Grades {

public static void main(String[] args){

Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

String sFirstName;
String sLastName;
String sIDnumber;

System.out.println ("Please enter stuent ID number");
sIDnumber = console.next();
System.out.println ("Please enter student First Name");
sFirstName = console.next();
System.out.println ("Please enter student Lanst Name");
sLastName = console.next();
System.out.println ("Please enter grade for Assignments (Homework)");



int iAssignment = 0; //Assignments score (Homework)
int iQuizzes = 0; //Quzzes score
int iMidterm = 0; //midterm score
int iFinal = 0; //Final exam score
int iTotal = 0; // Total score


iAssignment = console.nextint();
System.out.println ("Please enter grade for Quizzes");
iQuizzes = console.nextint();
System.out.println ("Please enter grade for Midterm");
iMidterm = console.nextint();
System.out.println ("Please enter grade for Final");
iFinal = console.nextint();



}

Don't just dump your code with a vague error message. Post the exact and full error message. Indicate on which line it occurs. Include the test data you use to cause the error.

Also try debugging the code yourself. Add a print statement for each variable to see exactly what values they hold versus what you think they should hold. Of course these statements need to be before the line causing the error.

"symbol not found"

When you get one of these errors, go to the API doc to see if you are spelling the method correctly and giving it the correct arguments.

Arrgh!

I thought it was a runtime error not a compile time error. This confusion would have been avoided if OP had provided better details.

[Norm]

Over half the problem in answering questions is figuring out what the question is.

[naterptater]

The exact error code is:
Grades.java:28: error: cannot find symbol
iAssignment = console.nextint();
^
symbol: method nextint()
location: variable console of type Scanner

for each one of my "consol.nextint () lines. The wierd thing is, when I don't close the last line of the code, those errors go away, and I only have the one error saying the code doesn't end with ;.

Did you read reply #3 by Norm? Hint: Java is case sensitive.

[Joel]

Yeah, never seen the method nextint() before. Hint: Standard Java conventions say to write the name of a method like this <notCapitalized>, for classes <Capitalized>. For example, if I make a method that adds two numbers, I might call the method addNumbers(int num1, int num2).

I'm surprised you got this far in Java and you don't know about the naming convention. Kiiiiinda important...

[Tolls]

Considering the number of people that post here with wildly varying coding styles I suspect that coding conventions are never actually taught.

So, has the solution arrived at a resolve, @naterptater? This one should be easy for you figure out...
