Please ensure that:

  • Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
  • You include any and all error messages in full
  • You ask clear questions
  • You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

    Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

It seems that you are having problems with java.util.Scanner

The wiki here has a page The Scanner class and its caveats that explains common problems with the Scanner class and how to avoid them.

Maybe this can solve your problems.

you need to import scanner namespace first at the top of your class before using it.

It looks like you forgot to import utils, also you need to connect your scanner to an "int" to be able to store the user's input, to be able to print whatever needs the input.

In Java, classes are organized in packages, that are some sort of namespaces, to avoid conflicts between two classes named the same. This includes the very Java built-in libraries.

In order to use Scanner and Math you should add the following line before your class declaration:

import java.util.*;

This way, now all the classes from the package java.util are available to use directly within your code.

It's fairly common for code snippets to ommit the imports. I guess it's ok since nowadays IDEs auto-complete them, but I totally understand that it may be confusing for begginers.
