Welcome! If it's your first time here please read.

It seems like you forgot to put a dot symbol b/w out and println.

Hi,



your image is not clear. Please copy and post directly what error you are getting.

thanks,

Please format your code and Paste the full error message rather than an image.

System.outprintln( "My name is," + name + "my age is"+ age +
"and/nMy annual pay is" + annualPay +
"/nMy average montly pay is", + averageMonthlyPay);

Remove the comma that is before the "+ averageMonthlyPay". And you always going to get 0.0 for averageMonthlyPay because you calculated that before taking the input from user for annualPay.

ok thank you. so in order to get the right amount for annual pay i have to move the average monthly equation elsewhere

thank you, i found and fixed the program all together. thanks for your help. btw instead of starting a new thread i am trying to get some initials using also the joptionpane. i ask the user there first , middle and last name. but i need to get the initials of that input . but idk what to do.

this is what i have so far'


import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Initials
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String name;
String initials;

name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What is your first, middle, and last name? ");

initials =

System.out.println( "Name: " + name + " \nInitials:" + );

}
}

As you are taking first, middle, and last name as a single String use split(String regex) method to split the String name for first, middle and last name, and then use chatAt(int position) method to get the initials.

For more details on String Class Read this

i using the joption to get input from a user. SO as an example the program would ask for first middle and last name and display it as
Name : Kevin Fern Flower
Initials: K.F.F

what im trying to figure out is what to use to extract the initials from the input instead of asking for the initials . i want them to be generated after they put there name.
idk how to write that in code yet.any help

do you know an article on her on how to do this
