    Question can anyone help?

    So, this is a GPA Calculator. I want it to allow the user to enter the number of classes they have and use that number to determine how many times to ask them what the grade is.

    import java.io.*;
     
    import static java.lang.System.*;

        System.out.println("Please enter the number of classes you have.");
     
        r = scan.nextDouble();
     
        if (r == 1);{
     
          System.out.println("Please enter the number corresponding with your class grades.");

    Why do you have variables names 'a' through 'r'? Give your variables meaningful names.

    Do you know for() loops? Do you know arrays?

    No, I'm new to Java coding.

    See the tutorial:
    The for Statement (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)
    Arrays (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
