Question about the task

Plan to conquer the world

Java Syntax, Level 3, Lesson 8

Resolved

Anyone know why this is wrong?

Enter the number and name from the keyboard. Display the following string:
<name> will take over the world in <number> years. Mwa-ha-ha!

Here's an example:
Kevin will take over the world in 8 years. Mwa-ha-ha!

The order in which the data is input matters a lot.

Requirements:

The program should output text.
The program must read data from the keyboard.
The displayed text must contain the entered name.
The displayed text must contain the entered number.
The displayed text must fully match the task conditions.

package com.codegym.task.task03.task0318; /* Plan to conquer the world */ https://codegym.cc/help?taskKey=com.codegym.task.task03.task0318 import java.io.*; import java.util.Scanner; public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); String name = scan.nextLine(); int number = scan.nextInt(); System.out.println (name + " will take over the world in "+ number +" years. Mwa-ha-ha!"); } }

The first thing I noticed is that your inputs are backwards. The tasks inputs the years first and then the name second, but your program is expecting them to be entered the other way around.

I ran your code and entered a number and a name and your code crashed and told me that there was an error trying to convert the name into a number. Make sure to fix the bugs in your program so we can enter a number and a name.

The task says enter a number and a name. I did that and your code did not work. If you were a professional programmer and a client came to you with exact specifications for code they needed that accepted a number and a name, then you provided code that accepted a name and a number... it wouldn't work with their system and they would be rightfully upset since they gave you the exact specifications.

Have you done something over there? It should be commented out, I think. I haven't tested your code, but this poked my eyes.

Could you explain the problem exactly? I ran your code on eclipse also on Intellij and it seems ok. There is nothing wrong with your code.
