Thread: Big Rookie Question - New to Java, small problem Help appreciated!

Hey guys im really new to java, trying to learn it a bit by myself I appreciate help with this!

This is my code:

Im getting an error when trying to run it (With Netbeans IDE)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - variable number is already defined in method main(java.lang.String[])
	at Comparison.main(Comparison.java:10)
Java Result: 1

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Comparison
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
     Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
 
     int number 1;
     int number 2;
 
     System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
     number1 = input.nextInt();
 
     System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
     number1 = input.nextInt();
 
     if ( number1 == number2 )
         System.out.printf( "%d == %d\n", number1, number2 );
 
     if ( number1 != number2 )
         System.out.printf( "%d != %d\n", number1, number2 );
 
     if ( number1 < number2 )
         System.out.printf( "%d < %d\n", number1, number2 );
 
     if ( number1 > number2 )
         System.out.printf( "%d > %d\n", number1, number2 );
 
     if ( number1 <= number2 )
         System.out.printf( "%d <= %d\n", number1, number2 );
 
     if ( number1 >= number2 )
         System.out.printf( "%d >= %d\n", number1, number2 );
    }
}

The following is not legal syntax:

int number 1;
int number 2;

it has to be

int number1;
int number2;

Thanks so much!!

--- Update ---

Side Note: now it allowing it to run, most errors have disapeared but now I am getting this when running

run:
Enter First Integer: 3
Enter First Integer: 1
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - variable number2 might not have been initialized
at Comparison.main(Comparison.java:18)
Java Result: 1

For some reason I can't edit prior post, you never initialise number 2 either so all things you do with it will never work

What is wrong with the edit function?

Anyways:

     System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
     number1 = input.nextInt();
 
     System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
     number1 = input.nextInt();

Should be:

     System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
     number1 = input.nextInt();
 
     System.out.print( "Enter Second Integer: " );
     number2 = input.nextInt();

Thank you so much tools! all works now, much appreciated

What is wrong with the edit function?

A forum bug that is being worked, or so we've been told. A workaround is to right click on the desired function (like Edit) and select open in a new tab or window.

Thank you
