    Default What is wrong with my code??

    I am still new to this and have been trying to figure this out for about three days. I think that I have most of it done, in fact I think that I only have 1 problem with it. When I compile it shows only one error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is supposed to show if a number is even or odd. Here is my code:


    import java.util.Scanner;

    class EvenOdd
    {
    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
    int a;
    System.out.println("Enter a Number");
    Scanner stdIn = new Scanner(System.in);
    a = in.nextInt();
    if ( a % 2 == 0 )
    System.out.println("Number is even");
    else
    System.out.println("Number is odd");
    }
    }

    Please see Announcements - What's Wrong With My Code? for instructions on how to use the code tags. You mention an error, yet give no explanation as to what it is. It helps to post that error, not only to avoid relying on us to copy, paste, compile, and run your code, but also to help you look closely at the error and/or help us explain the error

    You made a mistake while creating object for Scanner class. The reference you initialised stdIn and the one you are using are wrong.
    use "a = stdIn.nextInt();"

    then it will work . hope it helps.
    // corrected program is
    <import java.util.Scanner;
     
    class EvenOdd
    {
    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
    int a;
    System.out.println("Enter a Number");
    Scanner stdIn = new Scanner(System.in);
    a = stdIn.nextInt();
    if ( a % 2 == 0 )
    System.out.println("Number is even");
    else
    System.out.println("Number is odd");
    }
