Question

Okay so i’m trying to convert a couple things.

So i have already converted my Scanner to a String, now what I want to do is, take the value that they input and use it as an integer for a couple else if statements. IT WONT WORK!

Here is my code so far:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class apples {
public static void main(String args[]) {

    Scanner fname = new Scanner(System.in);
    Scanner sname = new Scanner(System.in);
    Scanner number = new Scanner(System.in);
    tuna weight = new tuna();

    System.out.println("Enter Your First Name: ");
    String fname1 = fname.nextLine();
    String fnames = fname1;

    System.out.println("Enter Your Last Name: ");
    String sname1 = sname.nextLine();
    String snames = sname1;

    System.out.println("Enter Your Weight (Lbs.) : ");
    String num = number.nextLine();
    String num1 = num;

    System.out.println("Okay " + fname1 + " " + sname1
            + " I can see here that you weigh " + num + "lbs.");
    int num2 = num1.parseInt();
    if (num1 >= 275)
        System.out
                .println("You know, you should maybe consider laying off the candy my friend.....");
}

}

Answer 1

You should use an argument in parseInt:

int num2 = Integer.parseInt(num1);

and

if (num2 >= 275)
