I'm writing a simple program in which I want the answer to an equation to pop up in a dialog box. All I need to pop up is the value of y. Here is my attempt, and the errors. Any suggestions?
//Brandi Love //Computer Science I Lab, Section 113 //Socks Problem public class Socks { public static void main( String[] args) { int x, y; x = 5 + 2; y = x + 1; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"value of y: " + y, ", "Sample", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); System.exit(0); } }

Looks like just the wrong number of quote marks. The compiler points to Sample being incorrect, so the error is somewhere right before that. Look at each of your parameters ... see if one jumps out at you as missing a quote. (I'm resisting giving you the actual answer - you'll enjoy it much more if you spot it!)

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Okay so I resolved the whole quotes problem I'm still getting an error though, with the pointer pointing to the J in JOptionPane. Any idea why?  [ September 21, 2003: Message edited by: Brandi Love ]

Nevermind, I've got it now (I'm so proud of myself, I'm actually starting to understand this ) Thanks for the assistance.
