For all with a simple source problem.

[JavaModo]

Hi,
I just started with java yesterday and got my first problem with my source.
The Mac OS X 10.6 terminal shows me 4 errors when I want to javac this source. The errors are about the scanner commands.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Scanner
 {public static void main(String[] args)
  throws IOException
  	{int a, b, c;
		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
	 System.out.println("Enter a: ");
	 a = scanner.nextInt();
	 System.out.println("Enter b: ");
	 b = scanner.nextInt();
	 c = a + b;
	 System.out.println("a+b="+c); }
 }

Started on 12th of december 2009.
Using a MacBook of 2008, the jEdit editor and the shell terminal. My java version is 1.6.
Thanks for help and please forgive me possible incorrect forms, I am german.

First off, welcome to Java and welcome to the forum!

To solve your problem: Don't name your class Scanner as this clashes with the java.util.Scanner that you are trying to use.
Lastly, please look at my signature below about using code tags here.

Best of luck!

Also please see comments:

      // your scanner variable is called "sc"
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Enter a: ");
      
      // but here you try to use an undeclared variable "scanner"
      a = scanner.nextInt();

instead try:

      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Enter a: ");
      
      a = sc.nextInt();

By the way: kudos on fixing your post by promptly adding code tags. Figuring out how to do this is almost a mini-intelligence test, and many get it wrong on their first try. ;)

Thanks, that helped, 2 errors are gone but 2 other are still there.
Maybe the text of my terminal can help you:

Christoph-Vetters-MacBook:beispiele Christoph$ javac Addition.java
Addition.java:12: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable scanner
location: class Addition
	 a = scanner.nextInt();
	     ^
Addition.java:14: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable scanner
location: class Addition
	 b = scanner.nextInt();
	     ^
2 errors

A quick question beside: How can I write a signature?

[JavaModo]

Well talking to someone helps. :D

I solved the 2 errors by my self. Look at the code now and try it if you do not believe me:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Addition
 {public static void main(String[] args)
  throws IOException
  	{int a, b, c;
		Scanner [COLOR="Blue"]sc[/COLOR] = new Scanner(System.in);
	 System.out.println("Enter a: ");
	 a = [COLOR="Blue"]sc.[/COLOR]nextInt();
	 System.out.println("Enter b: ");
	 b = [COLOR="Blue"]sc.[/COLOR]nextInt();
	 c = a + b;
	 System.out.println("a+b="+c); }
 }

Thanks very much, I will come back with more tricky problems. ;)

See the rest of my posts above. I had already given you a solution before you posted the question. Nevertheless, you're always better off to solve it yourself. Congrats. Keep this up and you will go far.

Sorry, I didn't get this. :confused:
Is there a opportunity to add a signature automatically on every post?

Nevertheless, you're always better off to solve it yourself. Congrats. Keep this up and you will go far.

Thank you. Such words in the difficult beginning help.

Sorry, I didn't get this. :confused:

Read all the posts in the thread above and you'll get it.

As for your signature, just press the "Quick Links" link above and then "Edit Signature".

Sorry, we focused in the wrong points.

See the rest of my posts above. I had already given you a solution before you posted the question.

I thought this was the answer of my question about the signature.

So my part: "I didn't get it." was, because I thought you had given me the solution for my signature problem.

Misunderstanding of the year :D!!

Thanks now for the signature answer. See, it works.

No problem. Happy coding. :)
