Did you remember to import java.util.Scanner? That's the only thing I see when I try to compile the code.

And if Barry's guess wasn't right, you could continue by telling us what the error messages say. They are there to provide information, you know, not just to tell you that you did something wrong.

Hi Barry, yes I did, just didn't copy that part because the error wasn't there.

Thanks for the thought though!!

I don't see any error messages when I import it into Eclipse. Can you copy/paste the error messages and show where they appear?

The first error says:

Chap8Part5.java:12: error: ')' expected
letterGrade = "A";
^

others are similar...

I don't see that error when I paste the code into Eclipse. Maybe you can attach a screenshot showing the code on your screen and the error(s)?

It looks like you're using parentheses in places where you should be using curly braces. But why the code that I pasted into Eclipse had curly braces, I don't know.

I know that is the same thing I'm seeing. I'm putting in the curly and compile is seeing regular parentheses...

Very strange! I think some screenshots (if you can attach them) would help me figure out what's going on.

I figured it out!! What I was doing was compiling a previous version....
Thanks for the help... If you hadn't shown me the Eclipse I wouldn't have thought about it for a while!!
Thanks!!

If there is a first error like ) expected, that will throw all the rest of the code out of synch. You may find that correcting the first error will cause several others to go away.
