Thread: Input/Output Sequence

I am COMPLETELY New to java, and have not a clue what to do!

These are my directions:

Write a program that displays this name and address thusly:
Joe Philagio
582 Troy Street
Birmingham, Al. 48331

Our instructor gave us this info. to supposedly help:
INPUT/OUTPUT:
int. num; String animal;
System.out.println("How many critters?:");
num = Keyboard.readInt();
System.out.println("What kind?:");
animal - Keyboard.readString();
System.out.println("You have" + num + "\t" + animal + "s.");

Seeing that the example has nothing to do with the assignment, I have no clue how to do this! PLEASE HELP ME

this is also REGULAR java...

The program is to print 3 lines?
Did you compile and execute the small program you posted here?
Start with that so you know how to edit, compile and execute a program.
When it does execute:
Did it print out anything?
What statements in the program did the printing?
You could copy those statements and change them to print out what you want to print.

Well, I don't really understand how to write it, because the example and the assignment are so different...

Did you try typing in the sample program, compiling it and executing it?

the example and the assignment are so different...

It looks like the assignment only uses a small part of the example program.
