error with "Scanner" class in basic calculator program.

[wheezebeez]

Hello all, I am new to the community so sorry if I don't post the correct way. Will do the best that I can.
Here is my code.I am using a IDE (eclipse) and it doesn't show me any errors. But every time I try to run it in CMD but I get a error saying "cannot find symbol class in = new Scanner" Any help would be much appreciated!

public class HelloApp
{
	public static void main(String [] args)
	{
		Scanner in = new Scanner( System.in);
 
		int number1;
		int number2;
		int sum;
 
		System.out.println("Hello!");
		System.out.println("Welcome to my first java calculator!");
		System.out.println("When you are ready, Input your first number!");
		number1 = input.nextInt();               // User inputs first number
 
		System.out.println("Okay, Now the second number please!");
		number2 = input.nextInt();             	// User inputs second number
 
		sum = number1 + number2;
 
		System.out.printf ("Sum is %d\n", sum);
 
	}
}

Very basic program so I doubt that anyones brain will be hurt over this, I am jsut so new that every key is confusing.

HelloApp is the name of the class you wrote.

Scanner is the name of a class you did not write but are attempting to use.
System is the name of a class you did not write but are attempting to use.

System is included by default. Scanner is not. You have to import the Scanner class to use it.

import java.util.Scanner;

Got it working thanks jps! quick question on the import of scanner. When importing it do I always have to put it before the class I am going to be using it in? or can I put the import statement withing the class brackets?

quick question...can I put the import statement within the class brackets...

What happens when you try it like that? Isn't that a quicker way to find the answer?

Cheers!
