Any help plz [message #896267]

I am not understanding the error. I wrote this straight out of my Java book by Tony Gaddis. I am using eclipse "juno" and not sure what i am doing wrong. The error i get is called, Resource leak: "keyboard" is never closed. I have not adjusted any preferences. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Payroll
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
String name; // To hold a name.
int hours; // Hours worked.
double payRate; // Hourly pay rate.
double grossPay; // Gross pay.

/// Create a Scanner object to read input.
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

// Get the user's name.
System.out.print("What is your name?");
name = keyboard.nextLine();

// Get the number of hours worked this week.
System.out.print("How many hours did you work this week? ");
hours = keyboard.nextInt();

// Get the user's hourly pay rate.
System.out.print("What is your hourly pay rate? ");
payRate = keyboard.nextDouble();

// Calculate the gross pay.
grossPay = hours * payRate;

// Display the resulting information.
System.out.println("Hello " + name);
System.out.println("Your gross pay is $" + grossPay);

}
}

If I recall correctly, Scanner objects must be closed when they are no longer needed, so at the end of your method (before the two closing brackets), you need to add the line:

keyboard.close();

wow, that was easy fix. But it's weird because that code was straight out the book, minus that fix and it was suppose to compile. Anyways thank you.

Books aren't always 100% correct, though it is surprising that something as easy to check would be overlooked, especially on such a simple program. In any case, I'm glad it's working for you now!

Eclipse reports detects more problems than 'javac'. Note that Eclipse
still compiled the code (i.e. generated the class file).

Hej,
i have a similar problem.
I think (don't know) that there is something wrong.
So the scanner problem seems to point at a problem in eclipse.

In my case Eclipse give the warning that the scanner has not been close, however if i add the 'scanner.close()' function it dont do what it suppose to.
I'm a beginner but the code seems to be right.
I normaly dont use eclipse and i know that the code works perfectly in other programs,
but not in eclipse. I dont meen the warnings, in eclipse the code just crashes and i would like to know why?

so this is the code that do not work in eclipse:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Scan {

public static int reader(){
int x = 0;

do{
try
{
System.out.print("[E]:");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
x = sc.nextInt();
sc.close();
}
catch(Exception ex){ System.out.println(ex);x=-1; }
}while(x<0);
System.out.println("[ok]");
return x;
}

}

If i remove the close() out of the code it works fine with the exception of warnings.

If, by "doesn't work in Eclipse", you mean that you can't use the
Console view to type in input, this is true. This program will only work
correctly run outside of Eclipse. The Eclipse console window doesn't
support input.

can you put an example of what you are talking about with the " at the end of your method (before the two closing brackets), you need to add the line:"

I am totally confused and the word keyboard doesn't show up in chapter 3 in the book"Introduction to Java Programming 9th edition". Or am I not seeing it.

does that keyboard word go when I initiate the Scanner

like right here
// Create a Scanner
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

or you mean these closing brackets
public class AdditionQuiz {
public static void main(String[] args) {

I am so confused I didn't have that much trouble in VS.
