Question

Here’s the error I’m receiving:

The method saySomething(String) in the type Finch is not applicable 
for the arguments (Scanner)

Code:

Scanner user_input = new Scanner(System.in);

String userInput;
System.out.println("Enter your two words: ");
userInput = user_input.next();

myf.saySomething(user_input);

I’m assuming the saySomething method doesn’t accept scanner input, how do I convert the input to a string? Thanks

Answer 1

An example of choosing similar variable names, which leads to confusing code like this:

your saySomething(String) method expects a String as a parameter, currently you are passing scanner.

            Scanner user_input = new Scanner(System.in);
            String userInput=user_input.next();
            System.out.println("Enter your two words: ");
            myf.saySomething(userInput);

Name you variables something which you can diffrentiate from each other, and are meaningful.

Scanner userInput;
String  words;
