Help compiling a simple class (Solved)

syronix · 10-21-2011, 05:23 PM

Hi I am currently learning java so I can develop android apps, but I just started so I need a little guidance as the books and tutorials I am using aren't perfect.

Code:

// I had forgotten to add 
//import.util.Scanner

class EchoLine {
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		
		Scanner eyeGlass = new Scanner(System.in); //This is Line 5
		System.out.println(eyeGlass.nextLine());
	}
}

For some reason I can't get this to compile, Jcreator is showing.

error: cannot find symbol line 5

#Solved

I forgot to use import java.util.Scanner, I can't believe i missed that it's like trying to use a gun with no bullets of course I'm gonna fail.

Assuming that everything works the same as standard Java, I'd expect all you need is to import java.util.Scanner. Does the error not indicate on what symbol its failing?

You're absolutely correct and sorry I didn't update sooner to let everyone know I had found my little mistake, thanks for responding so quickly though.
