Java compile error: cannot find symbol [duplicate]

Answer 1

Alternatively, you could just change:

y = input.nextInt();

To:

y = x.nextInt();

Then it will work.

This is because input is not defined anywhere in the code. The provided code suggests that you expect it to be an instance of the Scanner class. But the instance of Scanner class is actually defined as x and not input.

Answer 2

The error message is telling you that your variable 'input' doesn't exist in your scope. You probably want to use your Scanner object, but you named it 'x', not 'input'.

Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

Should fix it.

Answer 3

You have not defined the variable input here. You should have:

Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

Answer 4

 Scanner x = new Scanner( System.in ); 
 int y = x.nextInt();

Answer 5

You used the variable input, as in

y=input.nextInt();

You can't do this, because it's not a variable. I believe you meant for it to be "x", or you could replace

Scanner x = new Scanner( System.in );

with

Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

Answer 6

this is the simple fix y = x.nextInt(); instead of y = input.nextInt();
