Anyone Familiar with programming Java?

[Mr. Blonde]

I'm in desperate need of help for my class. I might eventually be able to figure it out, but I just need some quick help.
What is wrong with this:
system.out.println(n + 3 = + (n * n * n) )

1. Well, the "= +" part looks suspicious

And the fact that you are printing what may be a numeric expression, but I'm not even sure about that.

What are you trying to do (in english)?

[Mr. Blonde]

2. it is for a class

I'm trying to find the error in this program. Should I take out the plus?

[phantom power]

4. Or, you might take out the "="

That way, it will evaluate to a numeric expression, which should then get cast into a string automatically.

Is this some kind of homework question, where you are just supposed to find a syntax error and correct it? Or are you trying to achieve some actual programming goal?

[Mr. Blonde]

5. As far as I'm concerned

I just need to fix the syntax. The program will do something, but I don't get any points for the program.

3. messed up

system.out.println(n + "^3 = " + (n * n * n) )

Here is the full file but the error is in the above line.

import java.io.*;

public class CubeIt

{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException

{
// set up an input stream
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in));

// prompt the user for input
System.out.print("Please enter a number: ");
// extract the user input
double n = Double.parseDouble(stdin.readLine());

// print the results

System.out.println(n + "^3 = " + (n * n * n))

}
}

6. semicolon should be at the end

[Mr. Blonde]

8. next question

I'm struggling adding to the file. I think I'm in over my head.

[phantom power]

10. what are you editing the file with?

[Mr. Blonde]

12. Its

a unix thing I believe. Or csa if that means anything.

7. I am running it through jGrasp right now.

I will try to figure it out. That looks like a mess.

[Mr. Blonde]

9. thank you n/t

[Renew Deal]

11. You should be able to figure this out.

You are close. Here is the result when I fixed it.

Please enter a number: 33
35973.0

The program works. Your only mistake is in the System.out.println line. You have bad syntax and bad math.

PEMDAS

[Mr. Blonde]

13. One more problem

I have the file working and it did what it is supposed to do I guess because I was able to go on to the next step. But when on that step I recieve this message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.noclassDeffounderror: CubeIt/class

Any further help would be appreciated.

14. Where is your code?

[Mr. Blonde]

15. code?
