Hello,

I am currently working through a Java Beginners Guide (5th edition on amazon, should popo right out), so I have downloaded the Java development Kit, and also the Eclipse program. And I've stumbled upon a problem:

public class KbIn {
	public static void main(String args[])	{
		throws IOException;	{
			
			char ch;
			
			System.out.print("Press a key followed by Enter: ");;
			
			ch = (char) System.in.read();
			System.out.println("Your key is: " + ch);
		}
	}
}

The book tells me that this code should compile, but I get a "IOException cannot be resolved to a variable" error. How do I fix this issue?

Best,
Michal

Hint: curly braces are relevant symbols.

Thanks for the reply, I greatly appreciate it.

I've tried out the curly braces in several different places, but still cannot seem to get it working. Note, I am very much a beginner at Eclipse/coding in general, so as far as I understand Java, having something not resolved to a variable depends on defining one beforehand, not necessarily curly braces.

The Java Tutorial is excellent. Compare what you have with what they
have:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/declaring.html



Good luck :p
