    Default In need of help with switch-statement code.

    I am running into error after error with this program. At this point, things seem to be in order for the most part and I can compile without errors, however when I run the program and I'm asked to enter a letter grade, entering any letter grade will give me this:

    Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMisMatchException
    at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.Scanner.next(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)
    at GPA.main(GPA.java:28)


    Any help is greatly appreciated.. Excuse my noobness, I am brand new to Java (in my 3rd day of programming) but very determined.

    import java.util.Scanner; public class GPA

    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

    Scanner kbReader = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter number of classes: ");
    int numberClasses = kbReader.nextInt();

    int i;
    int totalCreditForGPA = 0;
    int totalCreditHours = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < numberClasses; i++)
    {

    System.out.print("Enter letter grade of class: ");
    int letterGrade = kbReader.nextInt();

    System.out.print("Enter credit hour of class: ");
    int creditHour = kbReader.nextInt();

    switch (letterGrade)
    {
    case 'A':
    case 'a': totalCreditForGPA = (int) totalCreditForGPA + (creditHour * 4);
    totalCreditHours = totalCreditHours + creditHour;
    break;
    case 'B':
    case 'b': totalCreditForGPA = (int) totalCreditForGPA + (creditHour * 3);
    totalCreditHours = totalCreditHours + creditHour;
    break;
    case 'C':
    case 'c': totalCreditForGPA = (int) totalCreditForGPA + (creditHour * 2);
    totalCreditHours = totalCreditHours + creditHour;
    break;
    case 'D':
    case 'd': totalCreditForGPA = (int) totalCreditForGPA + (creditHour * 1);
    totalCreditHours = totalCreditHours + creditHour;
    break;
    case 'F':
    case 'f': totalCreditForGPA = (int) totalCreditForGPA + (creditHour * 0);
    totalCreditHours = totalCreditHours + creditHour;
    break;
    default:
    System.out.println("Invalid letter grade.");
    }
    }
    int GPA = totalCreditForGPA;
    System.out.println("Your GPA is " + GPA);
    }
    }

    My apologies for crappy formatting/indenting... I don't know how to copy and paste over to this forum and keep formatting.

    The program asks for a 'letter grade', presumably a, b, c, d, or f, yet the scanner is expecting an integer. That's why there is an input mismatch exception.
