    The following is not legal syntax:
    int number 1;
    int number 2;

    it has to be
    int number1;
    int number2;

    For some reason I can't edit prior post, you never initialise number 2 either so all things you do with it will never work

    --- Update ---

    What is wrong with the edit function?

    Anyways:
         System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
         number1 = input.nextInt();
     
         System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
         number1 = input.nextInt();

    Should be:
         System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
         number1 = input.nextInt();
     
         System.out.print( "Enter Second Integer: " );
         number2 = input.nextInt();

    What is wrong with the edit function?
    A forum bug that is being worked, or so we've been told. A workaround is to right click on the desired function (like Edit) and select open in a new tab or window.
