In need of dire help

[NOIDEABOUTJAVA]

SO, I am required to take JAVA in my school as a course (only half year tho). And I am really stumped, I dont get java or Oracle (last year)... I have to make a code that tells me fibonacci sequence. Like if I go what is the 7th term the code will come out with 13.
But honestly I have no idea so here is my start/ best attempt

import java.util.scanner;
{
public class FibonacciFinder
public static void main(String[]args)
{
scanner input = new scanner(system)
int fib = 1;
int start= 0;
int end= 0;
int sequence=1;
   While(count<= sequence)
   start=end;
   end=fib;
   fib=start+end;
   count=count+1;
system.out.println("The" +emd +"term in the sequence is" + fib);
}
}

I honestly have no idea andI am pretty sure there is something between my while statement and my declaring statements
if anyone could not beat me up to bad with how bad it is it would be greatly appreciated!

Do you get a compile error? An error when the program is run? The wrong output?

Have you been given any tutorials or lab notes from your school on java, or have they left it up to you to work it out for yourself?
There are a number of things i can see before you attempt to run.
Your import statement and creation of you Scanner are wrong, take a look here > Scanner (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) I have also added a hint in my message for you.
Also take a look at the curly braces for public class FibonacciFinder.
In your program you are also using count, but you don't define what count is. There is also spelling mistakes and a number of capital letters included where they shouldn't be and not included where they should.
I advise you look over any lab notes you were given, see your teacher and ask for some further help/advice and i would also definitely review the basics of java programming first.

Please don't post links to old end-of-life versions of the Java API. Here are the two currently supported versions:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class FibonachiFinder
{
	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
		double fib;
		double start = 1;
		double end = 1;
		double count;

		System.out.println("Enter the Fibonacci number you want to display");
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		count = input.nextDouble();


		while(count>= 3)
			{
			fib = start + end;
			start = end;
			end = fib;


			System.out.println(fib);
		}
	}
}

here is my updated code. that I came up with. I know when I put in a count --; I get it to work, I put this above fib = start + end

So what happens? What do you expect to happen?

[NOIDEABOUTJAVA]

i get 1.0

What i expect to happen is the user puts in 7 and my out put becomes 13... that is it
and when I put in

count --;

above fib = start + end;
it works but counts all the fibonacci numbers up to it, which as of now i do not want

Okay then. If it works when you put that line in there, let's look at it a bit closer. This is what happens in the while-loop:

while(count>= 3)
{
  count --;
  fib = start + end;
  start = end;
  end = fib;
  System.out.println(fib);
}

See anything there that might cause it?

yes exactly... and then it writes --> 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 and stops... I just want the output to be 13....

look at where your println statement is... inside a loop!

Look at which line in your loop may be causing your program to print each value.
Then simply remove this from the loop, then you can place a line which displays the final value you calculated.

i thought it needs to be in the loop because i need it to loop until it hits the 7th fibonacci number

[Toll]

Anything in the loop is executed at every loop. So you will print every time you calculate a new Fibonacci-number. If you just want to print the last one, it needs to be just after the loop ends.
