hidiously stupid question

-----------------------------------

package veen1710;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Begin {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		System.out.println("Enter the target equation:");
		Scanner s = new Scanner( System.in );
		
		Tokenizer t = new Tokenizer(s);
			
		while (t.hasMoreTokens()) {
		    System.out.println(t.nextToken());
			
    	}

	}

}

I am getting an error that Scanner cannot be resolved into a type and import java.util.Scanner cannot be resolved into a type. Very new at java so I don't know what could be wrong here... any ideas?

Scanner does not resolve to a type, because of your next error - the import statement doesn't execute. I'm not sure as to why.

What is this package thing, and why do you have it there?

It is the package that contains all the classes with my school login name. This was the code that I used in lab and it worked fine:

package xxxxnnnn; (use your login as a package name)

import java.util.Scanner;

class ScannerTest
{
    public static void main( String args[] )
    {
        System.out.println("Enter a series of integers. Press 'q' to quit.");
        // Read from the keyboard.
        Scanner s = new Scanner( System.in );
        int result = 0;
        
        while( s.hasNextInt())
        {
          result += s.nextInt();                      
        }
        
        s.close();
        System.out.println("The total is " + result);  
    }
}

Sounds like you probably don't have that scanner library installed, or your interpreter is not setup to link to that library yet

To me it sounds like you don't have Java 1.5.0 installed.  Check which version of Java you have... Only 1.5 has the Scanner class.
