Cannot find symbol in kb.nextInt();

Question

I am writing a program for my class, and I want to test it out. However, I cannot compile it since I am getting this error "error: cannot find symbol" at "menuChoice = kb.nextInt();"

import java.util.*;
public class Program3
{
public static void main (String [ ] args)
{
    Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Please enter a non-negative integer.: ");
    int num = kb.nextInt();
    Random rand = new Random();
    int sum = 0;
    int factor = 1;
    int menuChoice;

    while (num > 0)
    {
        System.out.println("Number cannot be negative!  Please enter a non-negative integer.: ");
        num = kb.nextInt();
    }

    do
    {
        System.out.println("\nPlease choose an option:");
        System.out.println("\t0\tPrint the number");
        System.out.println("\t1\tDetermine if the number is odd or even");
        System.out.println("\t2\tFind the reciprocal of the number");
        System.out.println("\t3\tFind half of the number");
        System.out.println("\t4\tRaise the number to the power of 5 (using a Java method)");
        System.out.println("\t5\tRaise the number to the power of 5 (using a loop)");
        System.out.println("\t6\tGenerate 20 random numbers between 0 and the number (inclusive)");
        System.out.println("\t7\tFind the sum of 0 up to your number (using a loop)");
        System.out.println("\t8\tFind the factorial of the number (using a loop)");
        System.out.println("\t9\tFind the square root of the number (using a Java method)");
        System.out.println("\t10\tFind the square root of the number (using a loop, Extra Credit)");
        System.out.println("\t11\tDetermine whether the number is prime (using a loop, Extra Credit) ");
        System.out.println("\t12\tExit the program");

        menuChoice = kb.nextlnt(); //<<< error occurs right here!!!

        switch (menuChoice)
        {
            case 0: System.out.print("Your number is" + num);
                            break;
            case 1: if (num % 2 ==0)
                                System.out.print(num + " is even");
                            else
                                System.out.print(num + " is false");
                            break;
            case 2: if (num == 0)
                                System.out.print("There are no reciprocal");

                            break;
            case 6: for (int i = 1 ; i<=20; i++)
                                System.out.println(rand.nextInt(6));
                            break;
            case 7: for (int i = 1; i <=num ; i++)
                                {
                                    sum += 1;
                                    System.out.println(sum);
                                }
                            break;
            case 8: for (int i = 1 ; i <=num; i++)
                                factor = factor*i;
                            System.out.println(factor);
                            break;
            case 9: double theSqrt = Math.sqrt(num);
                            System.out.println("The square root of " + num + " is " + theSqrt);
                            break;
            case 10:    System.out.println("Did not do this extra credit :(");
                                break;
            case 11:    boolean isPrime;
                                for (int i = 2; i<=num; i++)
                                {
                                    isPrime = true;
                                    for (int divisor = 2; divisor<Math.sqrt(num) && isPrime; divisor++)
                                    {
                                        if (num%divisor == 0)
                                            isPrime = false;
                                    }
                                    if (isPrime)
                                        System.out.println("The prime number of" + num + " is prime");
                                    }
                                break;
            case 12:    System.out.println("Exiting the now.");
                                break;
            default:        System.out.println("Illegal choice, try again");
                                break;
        }
    }while (menuChoice !=12);

 }
}

That is the only part that is preventing me from running the program and seeing if my code is correcly written.

Thank you for the help.

Answer 1

You have a typo in your code. There is no such method like nextlnt in Scanner.

 menuChoice = kb.nextlnt(); 
                     ^

You should change it to:

menuChoice = kb.nextInt(); 
                    ^

Also look at this while condition:

while (num > 0)

Which means if num is greater than 0 then you are treating it as negative number. So instead you should have you while like:

while (num < 0)

Answer 2

you just change the

menuChoice = kb.nextlnt();

to

menuChoice = kb.nextInt();

then your code will work properly.
