Java cant find symbols?

Here is the code that is giving me problems. im trying to write code that will find the distence between two points. but i get the cannot find symbol error on lines 27-29(when i start doing math).

Code :

---

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Program
{
	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
  	double x1, y1, x2, y2; // coordinates of two points
  	double distance;   	// distance between the points
 
  	Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 
  	// Read in the two points
  	System.out.print ("Enter the coordinates of the first point " +
           	"(put a space between them): ");
  	x1 = scan.nextDouble();
  	y1 = scan.nextDouble();
 
  	System.out.print ("Enter the coordinates of the second point: ");
  	x2 = scan.nextDouble();
  	y2 = scan.nextDouble();
 
  	// Compute the distance
 double a, b, c, d, e, f;
        a = x2 + x1;
        b = y2 + y1;
        e = Math.java.pow(a,2);
        f = Math.java.pow(b,2);
        distance = Math.java.sqrt((e + f));
 
  	// Print out the answer
  	System.out.println(distance);
	}
}

Well, when you call the Math.java.pow you don't actually need to add the .java in there, that's why it's giving you the cannot find symbol error, afterwards you're going to run into initialization errors, when you compute the distance, you're program is going to try to compute d as

Code java:

---

Math.sqrt((e+f));

---

however, e and f have not yet been initialized!

yeah i caught myself with e and f. that is fixed now. removing the.java worked and the code ran without errors. Thanks a bunch!

Awesome, glad it worked. Nice catch with the e and f. Good Luck! :D
