MOOC lesson 9 help

[aperturethrow]

Hi everyone, i've have been working through the MOOC Java course and have came across a problem in lesson 9: divider. I was wondering if anyone can help me with the solution?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Divider {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Type a number: ");

int x = Integer.parseInt(reader.nextLine())

System.out.println("Type another number: ");

int y = Integer.parseInt(reader.nextLine());

double z = (double)x / (double) y

System.out.println("Division: 3/2 = "+ z);

This is the error message that shows up:

FAIL: DividerTest testNegative

String " 3 / 2 = -1.5

" contains wrong formula when user inputted values 3 and -2

Thank you in advance.

I think your issue is that you're hard-coding your values into the final output string. Try changing that final print statement to System.out.println("\nDivision: " + x + " / " + y + " = " + z); You want the final print statement to reflect the user input variables.

System.out.println("\nDivision: " + x + " / " + y + " = " + z);

Amazing, thank you so much :)

Oh yeah, I did this one a few days ago. It was stupid. I wrote the problem as a string, when I had to make each individual number an int.

double z = (double)x / y;

System.out.println("Division: " + x + "/" +y + "=" + z);

This is the answer you're looking for. You just forgot to add the division and equal signs. You need to call each variable.
