Check the Scanner class in the JDK API.

Are you saying you don't know what to do with strings, integers, or doubles?

this is what i came up with. my Eclispse won't work for some reason!

[php]import java.util.Scanner;




public class Ver1 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub








System.out.println("Enter employee's name: ") ;
Scanner scanner= new Scanner(System.in);
String name= scanner.next()
System.out.println("Enter number of hours worked in a week: ");
Scanner scanner1= new Scanner( System.in);
int hours= scanner1.nextInt() ;
System.out.println("Enter hourly pay rate: ");
Scanner scanner2= new Scanner( System.in);
double rate= scanner2.nextDouble() ;
System.out.println("Enter federal tax withholding rate: ") ;
Scanner scanner3= new Scanner(System.in);
double fedtax= Scanner3.nextDouble() ;


System.out.println("Enter state tax withholding rate: ") ;
Scanner scanner4= new Scanner(System.in);
double statx= Scanner4.nextDouble() ;

double grosspay= hours*rate
System.out.println("Employee Name: " + name) ;

System.out.println("Hours Worked: " + hours) ;

System.out.println("Hourly Rate:$"+rate) ;

System.out.println("Gross Pay;$"+grosspay) ;

System.out.println("Deductions:")

System.out.println(" Federal Withholding (" + (fedtax*100.0) + "%) : "+ "$" + ((grosspay)-
grosspay* fedtax );

System.out.println(" State Withholding (" + (statax*100.0)+ "%) : " +"$"+ (grosspay-(grosspay*statax)) ;

System.out.printLn(" Total Deductions: $" +(grosspay*(statax+fedtax)) ;

System.out.println("Net Pay: $"+(grosspay-(grosspay*(statax+fedtax))) ; [php]
}

}

First, you have numerous syntax errors. You need to check case on you variables and methods. Check semi colons and also count parentheses on you print statements. Eclipse should flag these for you.

And you only need a single instance of Scanner.

i know. Eclipse is craping out on me. does not let me to debug. does not save files. does not change the program that runs. does it tell me if i have an error or not. i miss VB days.

I find that hard to believe. Eclipse is just a tool. It does what you tell it to do.

A tool that works just fine for people who actually know what they're doing, I might add.
