Please Help! Having problems with class program

[Kevin Quarles]

I am having problems with errors. I am using Wordpad and command prompt. I type in javac (my program name).java and I am getting 76 errors.

Here is a sample of the errors:

Here is my code:

// PayrollProgram.java
// By Kevin Quarles

import java.util.Scanner;  // program uses class Scanner

public class PayrollProgram
{
            // main method begins execution of Java application

            public static void main( String args[] )
{

            // create Scanner to obtain input from command window

            Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in ) ;

            String name ; // employee's name
            double number1 ; // hourly rate
            int number2 ; // number of hours worked for the week
            double product ; // product of number1 and number2

            System.out.print( "Enter employee's name:" ) ; // prompt user to input name
            
            name = input.nextLine() ; // read employee's name from user's input

            System.out.print( "Enter hourly rate:" ) ; // prompt user for employee's hourly rate
            
            number1 =  input.nextDouble() ; // read hourly rate from user's input


            System.out.print( "Enter hours worked for the week:" ) ; // prompt user to enter number of hours worked for the week

            number2 = input.nextInt() ;  // read number of weeks from user's input

            product = number1 * number2 ;  // multiply numbers

            System.out.printf( "The Employee" + name ) ; // displays employee's name
            
            System.out.printf( "weekly pay is $" + product ) ; // displays weekly pay

          }  

// end method main

} 

// end class PayrollProgram
