bad operand types for binary operator >=, -, *

Question

I\'m having trouble figuring out how to fix these errors I keep getting for my code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Unit02Prog1 {

    public static void         


        

Answer 1

your variable numWords is string, please parse it to integer first for comparing. Then, update price to double as well. Sample code is as per below.

    int numWords;
    System.out.print("numWords");
    numWords = input.nextInt();

    double price;

    if (numWords >= 50) {
        price = ((numWords -50) * .08) + 5.00;
        System.out.println("customer:" + name);
        System.out.println("Placed an ad in catagory:" + catagory);
        System.out.println("Ad length is" + numWords + "words, at a price of $" + price);
    }
