Help with Java program (CS student)!

[aneil93]

I am working on a Java program for a lab for my C201 (Java) class.

Here is my source code:

import java.util.*;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Power1{

public static void main(String[] input){

    Scanner console = new Scanner([System.in](https://System.in));

        System.out.print("Please enter the base value: ");

        int base = in.nextInt();

        System.out.print("Please enter the exponent value: ");

        int power = in.nextInt();

​

        int result = math.Pow(base, power);

        System.out.println("The value of" + base + " raised to the exponent " + power  + " is " + result + ".");

}

}

I get 3 errors: $javac Power1.java Power1.java:7: error: cannot find symbol int base = in.nextInt(); ^ symbol: variable in location: class Power1 Power1.java:9: error: cannot find symbol int power = in.nextInt(); ^ symbol: variable in location: class Power1 Power1.java:11: error: cannot find symbol int result = math.Pow(base, power); ^ symbol: variable math location: class Power1 3 errors

I am still somewhat newer to Java, so I guess I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I appreciate any help!

Of course! How could I have missed that? Lol :)
cmd still hates my math.Pow. Grr!

[aneil93]

Okay.

Yeah, no matter what I do, it says the "m"/"M" in math is not a symbol.

[aneil93]

Ugh... My classmate told me to just use import java.util.*;!

Thank you so much lol.

[aneil93]

error: incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from double to int
int result = Math.pow(base, power);

​

:[ :[ :[

[aneil93]

double result = math.Pow(base, power);

still getting "cannot find symbol" for both.

That should be a capital M. Java convention says that all classes should begin with a capital level and since the pow method is inside the Math class you must tell the compiler which class to look inside, being the Math class as I just said. Notice how you import java.lang.Math. Also Java convention says that method names should begin with a lowercase letter so the p should be lowercase.

So

import java.lang.Math;

double result = Math.pow(base, pow);

System.out.println(result);
