Thread: read a double type on the keyboard

it doesn't work

Please explain what "doesn't work" means.

The code does not have any print statements to show the results or to prompt the user to enter the number.

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   double n;
   Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in );
  System.out.println("enter a decimal number") ;
  n=sc.nextDouble();
   System.out.println("you entered" +n);
  }

it doesn't work when i entered decimal

it doesn't work when i entered decimal

Please explain what you do and what the program does. What is printed out?
There could be many reasons why code does not work.

Are decimal points represented by a . or by a , on your computer?

[QUOTE=Mounkaila144;172218]hello
[code=Java] public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in ); //(import java.util.Scanner before public static void main
double n=sc.nextDouble();

System.out.println(n);
}
}

What happens when you compile the code you posted? Are there errors?

Please test your code before posting it.

Where is the print statement to ask the user to enter a number?

How is your code different from the code in post#3?

Also note that post#3 used code tags which you have not used with your code.

Look at post#3 to see how the code is formatted.

I don't understand why you are posting on this thread instead of working on the thread that you started.
