While Compiling Getting an Error in Java

[adisharma]

Hello Everyone, I am facing an error while executing the below program. Can anyone help me out?

EyeColour.java:27: error: cannot find symbol
    Scanner input = scanner(System.in);
                    ^
  symbol:   method scanner(InputStream)
  location: class EyeColour
1 error

I keep getting this ^^ error when trying to compile the following code on Interviewbit. I'm new to Java and I can't find a solution online, sorry if the solution is really obvious:

import java.util.Scanner;
class EyeColour //
{
    public static void main (String[] param)
    {

        InputEye();
        System.exit(0);

     } // END main


    public static void InputEye() 
    {
        Scanner scanner = Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("What is your eye colour?");
        String EyeColour;
        EyeColour = scanner.nextLine();
        System.out.println("So your eyes are " + EyeColour + " are they? I like " + EyeColour);
        return;

    } // END InputEye 



} // END class EyeColour

Any Suggestions?

This isn't a programming forum, but I'll give you a hint - take a closer look at the line of your code that doesn't compile in the example program code. What you wrote isn't the same (and it's not because of the variable name).
Edit: I misinterpreted the question and apparently have forgotten how Java works LOL

I'm not sure if you figured out the answer, but I believe you forgot to initialize the scanner by calling the new keyword.

Any Suggestions?

1. For programming questions, you will get much better results if you post on forums like Stackoverflow. But, I strongly suggest that you follow #2 before you post.
2. If you want a great response, you should read this thread and this thread.
3. Always go to the documentation. It may solve your problem.

Capital s and probably a new as well: Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
