    Default help please. even simple programs are not running in any IDE

    I've been trying the following code for a while but in vain. I've tried simple text editors and even various IDEs. Please tell me what's wrong with this:

    import java.util.Random;
    class PlayTwentyOne {//even adding "public" before makes no difference
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    Random myRandom = new Random();
    int card, total = 0;
    System.out.println(“Card Total”);
    while (total < 21) {
    card = myRandom.nextInt(10) + 1;
    total += card;
    System.out.print(card);
    System.out.print(“ “);
    System.out.println(total);
    }
    if (total == 21) {
    System.out.println(“You win :-)”);
    } else {
    System.out.println(“You lose :-(“);
    }
    }
    }

    Please explain what you have done and what happens. Post the full text of any error messages.

    Please Edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    @Norm: Well I solved the problem. The error arose due to mismatch in text formats.
    When I deleted the quotation marks and entered them again. it ran perfectly.
    Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.
    P.S.: Will be seeking more help in future as it's just the beginning.
