Compiler error: '.class' expected

String sAge = scan.nextLine();
Scanner scan = new Scanner( System.in );

System.out.print( "what year were you born? >");
int iAge = scan.nextInt (sAge);
final double Cyear = 2014;
final double LEmax = 77.9;

System.out.println( "\nThe percentage of your life you have lived is " + int LEmax );

When I compile this, I get these errors:

C:\Users\PracticeMethods.java:54: error: '.class' expected
  System.out.println( "\nThe percentage of your life you have lived is " + int LEmax );
                                                                               ^
C:\Users\PracticeMethods.java:54: error: ';' expected
  System.out.println( "\nThe percentage of your life you have lived is " + int LEmax );

What am I doing wrong? Can you help me resolve these errors?

You incorrectly casted LEmax to an int. Instead of System.out.println( "\nThe percentage of your life you have lived is " + int LEmax ); do System.out.println( "\nThe percentage of your life you have lived is " + (int) LEmax ); with the parentheses around int.

It's just a syntax error. Try this:

System.out.println( "\nThe percentage of your life you have lived is " + LEmax );

Notice that you do not have to say again that LEmax is an int, we specify the type of a variable only when we declare it, not when we use it. Or perhaps you intended to do a cast? if that's the case, then you should write it like this, surrounding the type between ():

System.out.println( "\nThe percentage of your life you have lived is " + (int) LEmax );
