Im making a program that converts your BMI.

When I go to run it, I get errors.

Here is my code:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.util.Scanner;


public class BmiCalculator {
public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter weight in pounds: ");
long weight = input.nextlong();

System.out.print("Enter height in inches: ");
long height = input.nextlong();

long BMI =(weight*.45359237)/(height*.0254);

System.out.print(BMI);

}
}


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the outout in CMD:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
c:\java>javac BmiCalculator.java
BmiCalculator.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
long weight = input.nextlong();
^
