Java Syntax Error

Question

What is wrong with my code? I have an error concerning the scanner part of it. I have to add "more details be4 I can post this question, so this is it.

import java.util.Scanner
class rectangle
{
 double width;
 double length;
 double findArea(double a, double b)
 {
 width=a;
 length=b;
 return a*b;
 }
}
public class area
{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
 {
 System.out.println("Enter the dimensions of the square.");
 Scanner x = new Scanner(System.in);
 Scanner y = new Scanner(System.in);
 }
 {
 rectangle objrect = new rectangle();
 System.out.println(objrect.findArea(x, y));
 }
 }
}

• Andrew Thompson: 1) Always copy/paste error & exception output. 2) Please use the correct spelling for words like 'you', 'your' & 'please'. This makes it easier for people to understand and help. 3) Please learn common Java naming conventions (specifically the case used for the names) for class, method & attribute names & use them consistently.

Answer 1

You are passing two Scanner objects to a method findArea that expects two double values; that won't work. You should have one Scanner object, with which you should be able to obtain double values that you can pass in to the findArea method.

Answer 2

Replace the x and y value input line with follows:

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
double x = s.nextDouble();
double y = s.nextDouble();

Now call the method finaArea as follows:

objrect.findArea(x, y)
