Thread: Java help

Did you have a specific technical question, or did you just want to dump your homework here?

Please read the link in my signature on asking questions the smart way, then try again.

Can you help with this? I can't get this to compile properly. Basically, I need it to take 3 test scores and display the average and it has to display an error if a negative # or if something over 100 is input?

import java.io.*; 
import java.util.Scanner;// For Keyboard input
public class TestScores {
    public static void main(String[] args){
 
        //Variable Declarations
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        int TestScore =0;
        int testScore1=0;
        int testScore2=0;
        int testScore3=0;
        int averageScore;
        int userInput; 
 
 
 
            //User Prompts
            System.out.print("Please enter your 1st test score: ");
            testScore1 = keyboard.nextInt();
            System.out.print("Please enter your 2nd test score: ");
            testScore2 = keyboard.nextInt();
            System.out.print("Please enter your 3rd test score: ");
            testScore3 = keyboard.nextInt();
 
 
 
            //Array to hold user input
             int []TestScore1 = new int (testScore1,testScore2,testScore3);           
            int max = 100 ;
 
 
 
 
                /**
            * Constructor
                 */
            public TestScores(int testScore) {
 
            if ( testScore < 0 || testScore > 100)
                 testScore = userInput;
            else
            TestScore1 = testScore ;
    }
 
 
          // Try to assign a negative number to the TestScores field.
              try
              {
              TestScores  = new int ("testScores ",-1);
 
              catch (IllegalArgumentException e)
              }
 
                    finally
                    {
 
             System.out.println(IllegalArgumentException);
 
            //To calculate Average Score
            averageScore = (testScore1 + testScore2 + testScore3)/3;
 
 
            //To display average score and letter grade
             if(testScore < 0) 
              System.out.println("\nError invalid Score!");
 
            else if (averageScore < 60)
                System.out.println("\nYour average score is " + averageScore + " and your grade is an F");
 
            else if(averageScore < 70)
                System.out.println("\nYour average score is " + averageScore + " and your grade is an D");
 
            else if(averageScore <80)
                System.out.println("\nYour average score is " + averageScore + " and your grade is an C");
 
            else if(averageScore<90)
                System.out.println("\nYour average score is " + averageScore + " and your grade is an B");
 
            else if(averageScore <=100)
                System.out.println("\nYour average score is " + averageScore +" and your grade is an A");
 
            else (testScore > 100)
               System.out.println("\nError invalid Score!");
}
}
}

Please copy the full text of the error messages and paste it here.

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

The error messages that were posted don't show the source lines where the errors are located.
Hard to suggest coding changes without the source line with the error.

The message should show the source with a ^ under the location of the error.
Here is a sample from the javac compiler:

TestSorts.java:138: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable var
location: class TestSorts
         var = 2;
         ^

There is more information in those messages, but they do not include the text of the source line with the error.
In the error message I posted the source was:

  var = 2;

Try using the javac command to compile the code. It gives good error messages.

Also, I really suggest fixing your formatting and indentation. You've got some pretty basic problems going on, and correct formatting would make them obvious.
