Question

I am trying to grab and store (coordinate1,x1,y1) at the same time .

Here is what I am trying to have happen when someone enteres 2,3:

coordinate = (2,3)

x1=2

y1=3

    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class LinearSlopeFinder {
      public static void main(String[]args){
         double x1, y1 ;


         Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);

         System.out.print("    What is the first set of cordinants? ... ");
         String coordinate1 = myScanner.next();//this is the only thing 

                 //it stores

         x1= myScanner.nextInt();//need this from myScanner
         y1= myScanner.nextInt();//need this from myScanner


         System.out.println("your coordinates are " + coordinate1);
         System.out.println("x1 is "+ x1 );

    }
}

now trying to split but still getting an error

import java.util.Scanner;

 public class LinearSlopeFinder {
public static void main(String[]args){
    int x1, y1, x2, y2, n1, equation, slope ;

    Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.print("    What is the first set of cordinants? ... ");
    String coordinate1 = myScanner.nextLine();
    String coordinates[] = coordinate1.split(",");
    x1 = coordinates[0];
    y1 = coordinates[1];

    System.out.println("your cordinants are " + cordinant1);
    System.out.println("x1 is "+ x1 );

     }
}

Answer 1

Get the line myScanner.nextLine() and save it to coordiante1.
Split the coordiante1 using , as delimiter (String#split). Cast(Integer#parseInt) & Assign 0th index to x1 and 1st index to y1.
