Error message when compiling

[sabby0805]

Hi !
New to the boards here. I am in wk 2 of a java programming class. We had to submit an assignment and this is what I did:
// checkpoint 2.2: WeeklyPay1.java
// Printing name of employee and weekly pay amount.
import java.util.scann er; // program uses class scanner

public class WeeklyPay1
{
// main method begins execution of Java application
public static void main( String args[] );
{
// create Scanner to obtain input from command window
Scanner input = new scanner( System.in );

int name1; // Name Of Employee
int numberhrs; // number of hours worked
int hourlypay; // pay per hour
int sum; // numberhrs * hourlypay

System.out.prin t( " Enter Name Of Employee: " ); // prompt
name1 = input.nextInt() ; // read first name from user

System.out.prin t( " Enter Number Of Hours Worked: "); // prompt
numberhrs = input.nextInt() ; // read number of hours worked from user

System.out.prin t( " Enter Hourly Pay: " ); // prompt
hourlypay = input.nextInt() ; // read hourly pay

sum = numberhrs * hourlypay; // multiply numbers

System.out.prin tf( "Sum is $d\n", Name employee ); // display employee name and weekly pay amount

} // end method main

} // end class WeeklyPay1

and this is the error messsage I am getting:

C:\Documents and Settings\Sabrin a\Desktop\Weekl yPay1.java:29: ')' expected
System.out.prin tf( "Sum is $d\n", sum, employee name ); // display sum; name of employee
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

Please help!

First welcome to thescripts
and please use the Wrap code tag. It's locate on top of the message box looks like this #

you have several mistakes.
1. look this line
Scanner input = new scanner( System.in ); Something needs to be in upper cap.

2 your main error lies here,
System.out.prin tf( "Sum is $d\n", Name employee );
What is Name employee doing? Don't you want to print the employee and hours, look at your objects that you have declared.

This is the solution to your problem.....



[CODE=java] import java.util.Scann er;

public class WeeklyPay1 {
// main method begins execution of Java application
public static void main(String[] args) {
// create Scanner to obtain input from command window
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

String name1; // Name Of Employee
int numberhrs; // number of hours worked
int hourlypay; // pay per hour
int sum=0; // numberhrs * hourlypay

System.out.prin tln( " Enter Name Of Employee: " ); // prompt
name1 = input.next(); // read first name from user

System.out.prin tln( " Enter Number Of Hours Worked: "); // prompt
numberhrs = input.nextInt() ; // read number of hours worked from user

System.out.prin tln( " Enter Hourly Pay: " ); // prompt
hourlypay = input.nextInt() ; // read hourly pay

sum = numberhrs * hourlypay; // multiply numbers

System.out.prin tln("sum is ::" +sum); // display employee name and weekly pay amount

} // end method main

} // end class WeeklyPay1
[/CODE]

I second that

[sabby0805]

Wow,
Thanks for the welcome and the responses. I appreciate the answer to my homework, as I can see I did it completly different. Is that why my program had an error? or would I have gotten the same results by using my program? I am trying to see if there is more then one way to write a program and get the same result or if it is a black and white issue. only one way to be right.
thanks everyone for the help...this newbe needs all she can get!

Rarely, if ever, is there only one solution to a programming situation.
