Just a bit of advice on my first program.

[Michael Humphreys]

Hi All, Well, I have been studying Java for just over a month and I have almost finished my first program. But as you see I am stuck. Below is a copy of the code for a program I wrote MANY years ago in Tandy Basic, written in Java. I don't understand why my System.out.println call won't work. A word of why would help. I don't want you to fix it just let me know how to fix it myself. Any help would be great. Here is the code:

/**
 * 
 */
package EggsProfitLoss;

/**
 * @author Michael Humphreys
 * This program was origanaly written in TandyBasic many years ago
 * This is an updated java program.
 *
 */
public class chickens {
        public static void main(String [] args) {
            int chickens = 110;
            int hens = 100;
            int numberOfEggsLaid = 110;
            double costOfFeed = 25.00;
            double cost;
            double costOfEggs = cost*chickens;
          cost = costOfFeed / chickens;
System.out.println("Number Of Hens =") = hens;
System.out.println("Number Of Eggs Laid =") = numberOfEggsLaid;
System.out.println("CostOf Feed =") = costOfFeed;
System.out.println("Cost Of Eggs = ") = cost;
System.out.println("Profit Or Loss = ") = costOfFeed-cost;
    }

}

Please review UseCodeTags again because you made a small mistake with the tags. I fixed it for you. The correct syntax is:

System.out.println("Number Of Hens =" + hens);
