Another Java Question :)

[iccaros]

ok I have a simple java program but I don't understand why I get this error on printf

here is the center of my program

 int output;

			  //take user input
			  System.out.print("Enter the first number: ");
			  userInput1 = input.nextInt();

			  System.out.print("Enter the second number: ");
			  userInput2 = input.nextInt();

			  System.out.print("Enter The Third number: ");
			  userInput3 = input.nextInt();

			  output = sumNumbers(userInput1,userInput2,userInput3);
			  System.out.printf("the Sum of your numbers = %d\n",output);

the error is

The method printf(String, Object[]) in the type PrintStream is not applicable for the arguments (String, int)

but all the examples on the web show this format??

thanks

Is the compiler in Java 1.5 mode? It looks like it isn't autoboxing the int.

Must not be, I can compile this:

public class test
{
		public static void main(String[] args)
		{
				int output = 9;
				System.out.printf("the Sum of your numbers = %d\n",output);
		}
}

fine with 1.5(sun), but not with 1.4(blackdown).

I just compiled with command line javac no problem.. but eclipse gives this error..

it is java 1.5 so it must be a missconfig of eclipse

will try agian..

thanks..

I dont know about eclipse, but other IDE's Ive used (JBuilder and JStudio) defaulted to a 1.4 sdk installed in the applications directory, I had to specify my 1.5 jdk.

Thanks for the input..

I updated eclipse to 3.11 and now I have to option to default to 1.5

Thanks.. this has been driving me nuts for two days now..

does jbuilder or jstudio have a gui builder??

[naraku9333]

I'm fairly sure they do (in fact I am sure jstudio does), I just haven't learned anything about gui's yet (first semester java class). Both are free but require registering to download. Also on the sun developer network downloads page they have three IDE's I believe (jstudio, creator and studio 11).
