new program

[royb305]

having trouble with this little guy. always saying it needs a ; where the line doesnt end or a ) where the statement isnt even going to be complete. and pointers?
// Allows for user input
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Salary3
{
public static void main (String[] args);
{
// Declare Variables
String name;
double salary;

// Allows to read in from user input
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);

// Prompt user for their name
Syste.out.println ("what is your name?");

// Read in the users name and stores it in the cariable name
name = scan/nextLine();

// Prompt the user for their age
Systems.out.println ("What is your age?");

// Read in the users age and stores it in the variable age
age = scan.netInt ();

// Prompt the user for their wanted salary
System.out.println ("How much money would you like to"
+ " make in a year");

// Read in the users salary and store it in the variable salary
salary = scan.nextDouble ();

// Output the wanted output
System.out.print ("\n" + name + " is " + age);
System.out.println (" years old and would like to make $" +
salary + " a year.);
} // End of main
} // End of Salary

I assume this is Java not JavaScript - this is not the section to post a question anyway..

and you should wrap your code in [ CODE ] blocks.

A test?
There are seven errors in the posted java code. Can you find them?

match the errors with the line of code:

Errors
1 semi-colon error
1 Declaration error
3 Misspelling errors (3)
1 Keyboard (fat-finger) error
1 Quotation error

change this

// Prompt the user for their wanted salary
System.out.println ("How much money would you like to"
+ " make in a year");

to this

// Prompt the user for their wanted salary
System.out.println ("How much money would you like to" + 
" make in a year");

note the movement of the +
Also when posting something like this, where you are getting errors, please post the error message along with the line number. It makes finding the problem easier and faster

//pointers?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Salary3
{
