weird thing here

Question about the task

Under discussion

Can someone explain me what am I missing out here?

Use the keyboard to separately enter the name, number1, and number2. Display the following phrase:
"name" will receive "number1" in "number2" years.

Here's an example:
Nick will receive 10000 in 5 years.

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 number1.
The displayed text must contain the entered number2.
The displayed text must fully match the task conditions.

package en.codegym.task.jdk13.task03.task0319; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStreamReader; /* Predictions */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader); String name = bufferedReader.readLine(); //Read a string from the keyboard String snumber1 = bufferedReader.readLine(); String snumber2 = bufferedReader.readLine(); int number1 = Integer.parseInt(snumber1); //Convert the string to a number. //write your code here int number2 = Integer.parseInt(snumber2); System.out.println(name + " will receive " + number1 + " in " + number2 + " years."); } }

Also tried adding this line but nothing: BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

If you just changed that line then the variable names in the rest of your code does not match anymore. It should read:

BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

You declare a variable that way:

Type variableName;

here that would be:

BufferedReader bufferedReader; // BufferedReader is the type and bufferedReader the variable name.

Then you assign the value to that variable you just declared

variableName = someValue;

here:

bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); // while bufferedReader is the variable name

Or you just decalre and initiatlize the variable in one line (as done above).

BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

From that point inside the code on you can use the variable name

bufferedReader

to refer to the value, the BufferedReader object and you can eg. read a line from the standard input:

String line = bufferedReader.readLine();
