    Default I am having drouble with my java program for calculating the area and circumference of a circle

    Here is the code that I wrote out:

    //program that calculates the circumference and area of a circle

    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class circle{

    public static void main(String[] args){

    Scanner input= new Scanner( System.in);


    double r; //declares radius
    double A; //declares area
    double C; //declares circumference

    System.out.print("Entered the radius\n");//prompt
    r=input.nextdouble();//entered the radius

    A=3.14159*r*r;
    C=2*3.14159*r;

    System.out.printf("The value of the circumference is %d\n", C); //displays the result for the area

    System.out.printf("The value of the area is %d\n", A);

    }

    }

    And here is what is displayed in the command prompt when I compile my code:

    circle.java:17: error: cannot find symbol
    r.input.nextdouble();//entered the radius

    symbol: method nextdouble()
    location: variable input of type Scanner
    1 error


    What am I doing wrong

    Welcome to the Forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code correctly and other useful tips for newcomers.

    Java has many annoying features (to some). One of them it is that it is case sensitive. nextdouble() is not the same as nextDouble().
