Question

Firstly this is not a homework question. I am practicing my knowledge on java. I figured a good way to do this is to write a simple program without help. Unfortunately, my compiler is telling me errors I don’t know how to fix. Without changing much logic and code, could someone kindly point out where some of my errors are? Thanks

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Calculator
{
    private int solution;
    private int x;
    private int y;
    private char operators;

    public Calculator()
    {
        solution = 0;
        Scanner operators = new Scanner(System.in);
        Scanner operands = new Scanner(System.in);
    }

    public int addition(int x, int y)
    {
       return x + y;
    }
    public int subtraction(int x, int y)
    {
       return x - y;
    }
    public int multiplication(int x, int y)
    {    
       return x * y;
    }
    public int division(int x, int y)
    {
       solution = x / y;
       return solution;
    }
    public void main (String[] args)
    {
      System.out.println("What operation? ('+', '-', '*', '/')"); 

      System.out.println("Insert 2 numbers to be subtracted");
       System.out.println("operand 1: ");
       x = operands;
       System.out.println("operand 2: ");
       y = operands.next();
      switch(operators)
      {
          case('+'):
            addition(operands);
            operands.next();
            break;
          case('-'):
            subtraction(operands);
            operands.next();
            break;
          case('*'):
            multiplication(operands);
            operands.next();
            break;
          case('/'):
            division(operands);
            operands.next();
            break;
       }
  }
}

import java.lang.*; 
import java.util.*; 

public class Calculator 
{ 
    private int solution; 
    private static int x; 
    private static int y; 
    private char operators; 

    public Calculator() 
    { 
        solution = 0; 
        Scanner operators = new Scanner(System.in); 
        Scanner operands = new Scanner(System.in); 
    } 

    public int addition(int x, int y) 
    { 
       return x + y; 
    } 
    public int subtraction(int x, int y) 
    { 
       return x - y; 
    } 
    public int multiplication(int x, int y) 
    {     
       return x * y; 
    } 
    public int division(int x, int y) 
    { 
       solution = x / y; 
       return solution; 
    } 

    public void calc(int ops){
         x = 4; 
         System.out.println("operand 2: "); 
         y = 5; 

         switch(ops) 
         { 
             case(1): 
               System.out.println(addition(x, y)); 

           //    operands.next(); 
               break; 
             case(2): 
                 System.out.println(subtraction(x, y)); 
              // operands.next(); 
               break; 
             case(3): 
                 System.out.println(multiplication(x, y)); 
             //  operands.next(); 
               break; 
             case(4): 
                 System.out.println(division(x, y));
             //  operands.next(); 
               break; 
          } 
    }
    public static void main (String[] args) 
    { 
      System.out.println("What operation? ('+', '-', '*', '/')");  
      System.out.println(" Enter 1 for Addition");
      System.out.println(" Enter 2 for Subtraction");
      System.out.println(" Enter 3 for Multiplication");
      System.out.println(" Enter 4 for Division");

       Calculator calc = new Calculator();
       calc.calc(1);


  } 
} 

This will work
