what is wrong with my code? need help
yea i have to make a grade calculator that when i run the program it asks me standard questions and i type them into the box and it shows in the bottom (using eclipse btw). So i type stuff in 1 by 1 and basically when i go through it several times its suppose to calculate my gpa but my codes all wrong and stuff. heres what my code says. anyone can help me out or send some insight?

Re: what is wrong with my code? need help
wrap your code in code tags so we can see the code formatted as you would see it in you IDE. But I'd recommend you repost only the section of code that is giving you errors most of your methods have no logic yet, so there really isn't a reason to post it. But you will want to create a VO for your name, courseName, etc, etc; it will be composed of getters and setters and should resemble something like this:
Code java:
public class SampleVO {
String name = null;
String courseTitle = null;
int grade = 0;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getCourseTitle() {
return courseTitle;
}
public void setCourseTitle(String courseTitle) {
this.courseTitle = courseTitle;
}
public int getGrade() {
return grade;
}
public void setGrade(int grade) {
this.grade = grade;
}
}

Hello balmung123!
Can you elaborate what's wrong with your code (errors, exceptions, unexpected behaviour)?
And please edit your post and use the code tags to format it.
