Java Syntax Error

Question

What is wrong with my code? I have an error concerning the scanner part of it. I have to add "more details be4 I can post this question, so this is it.

import java.util.Scanner
class rectangle
{
  double width;
  double length;
  double findArea(double a, double b)
  {
    width=a;
    length=b;
    return a*b;
  }
}
public class area
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    {
      System.out.println("Enter the dimensions of the square.");
      Scanner x = new Scanner(System.in);
      Scanner y = new Scanner(System.in);
    }
    {
      rectangle objrect = new rectangle();
      System.out.println(objrect.findArea(x, y));
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

Replace the x and y value input line with follows:

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
double x = s.nextDouble();
double y = s.nextDouble();

Now call the method finaArea as follows:

objrect.findArea(x, y)

Answer 2

You are passing two Scanner objects to a method findArea that expects two double values; that won't work. You should have one Scanner object, with which you should be able to obtain double values that you can pass in to the findArea method.
