    Default Fibonacci series

    Hey Im new to JAVA programming i have alot of experience in C/C++ but not java was just wondering want i am doing wrong in this code. I have to take a input from the user( a number input) and then display the fibonacci series that goes with that number.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks


    Here is my code
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
     
    public class fibonacci {
     
    	public static void main(String args[]){
     
     
    		Scanner num = new Scanner(System.in);
    		System.out.println(num.nextLine());
     
    		System.out.println("  Fibonacci Series  ");
    		int f1, f2=0, f3=1;
    		for(int i=1;i<=num;i++){
    		System.out.print(" "+f3+" ");
    		f1 = f2;
    		f2 = f3;
    		f3 = f1 + f2;
    		}
    		}
    		}

    I get this error:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
    The operator <= is undefined for the argument type(s) int, Scanner

    at fibonacci.main(fibonacci.java:14)

    Can only use operators such as ==, >=, < on numeric types, and a Scanner object doesn't constitute a numeric type.

    If you read the API for Scanner, you'll notice a method named nextInt();
    Look it up, as It should be sufficient as to what you need.
