Ok so I took what I believe to be the soultion and did this
Code:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Class Grades Counted " + gradeCounter
+ \n "Class Average" + total/gradeCounter,
"Class Average Totals",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );
When I do this the eclipse environment tells me "Sytax error on tokens, delete these tokens", What did i do wrong?
