Thread: Dont laugh at me

I have started using Java at university; Lecturer cant be found and this is really annoying me.

class  SimpleAdd {
	public static void main(String[] args) 	{
		int x;
		int y;
		int sum;
		x = <>;
		y = <>;
		sum = x + y;
		System.out.println(sum);
	}
}

X and Y both need to have values right? So when I enter 1 and 4 like so:

class SimpleAdd {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x;
int y;
int sum;
x = <int 1>;
y = <int 4>;
sum = x + y;
System.out.println(sum);
}
}

It compiles no problem - but when I ask it to run it tells me:

H:\>cd javame-sdk

H:\javame-sdk>javac SimpleAdd.java
SimpleAdd.java:6: > expected
x = <int 1>;
^
SimpleAdd.java:6: illegal start of expression

SimpleAdd.java:7: > expected

^
SimpleAdd.java:7: illegal start of expression
y = <int 4>;
^
SimpleAdd.java:7: illegal start of expression
y = <int 4>;
^
6 errors

Can anyone help - I know its a basic problem, but without covering the basics how can I progress to more advanced things??
