no print statment works - Computer Programmers, Programming Forum

cantidosan · #1 04-13-2009

Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
class KeepingMoreKidsQuiet 	
{
	public static void main(String args[]) 
	{
		Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
		int gumballs;
		int kids;
		int gumballsPerKid;
		System.out.print(�How many gumballs? How many  kid");                                     
		gumballs = myScanner.nextInt();
		kids = myScanner.nextInt();
		gumballsPerKid = gumballs / kids;
		System.out.print(�Each kid gets �);
		System.out.print(gumballsPerKid);
		System.out.println(� gumballs.�);
	}
}

when i try to build the project i get errors. I am new to this language . My print statments just dont seem to work. I am sure its a simple solution but i have no clue .

Any help would gladly be appreciated,thanks

Always give the specific errors. You're more likely to get help if you provide all the information. You wouldn't go to the doctor and withhold your symptoms, would you?

At a quick glance, it looks like you might be writing your code in a word processor, rather than a text editor. That would at least explain why you have a mixture of different kinds of quote characters in your code.

You're not writing your code in MS Word are you?
