Easy answer new to Java. "reached end of file while parsing"

[dabosss]

I am very new to Java and need to complete this for some homework. The File runs just will not compile because of "week3day5.java:40: reached end of file while parsing"
Here is the code:

package whalenpaymachine;

//File: week3day5.java

import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class week3day5 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("\nEmployee Payment Calculator\n");
// Input Section
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
String name;
double rate;
double hours;

// Employee Name
do {
//needed for scanner class
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);

// get users string
System.out.print("Enter the employee name: ");
empName = kb.nextLine();
if ("stop".equalsIgnoreCase(empName)) {
// Exit the loop because the user wants to quit
break;
    }
// Employee hourly rate:
System.out.print("Enter the hourly rate: ");
rate = Double.parseDouble(in.nextLine());
// Employee hours worked:
System.out.print("Enter the hours worked:");
hours = Double.parseDouble(in.nextLine());
// Output Section
System.out.println("\nEmployee: " + name);
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
System.out.println(
"\nEarned a weekly Pay of: " + nf.format(rate * hours));

Error message:

"Compiling 1 source file to C:\Users\Daboss\Desktop\IT 215 Java\Compiled\Whalen Pay Machine\build\classes
C:\Users\Daboss\Desktop\IT 215 Java\Compiled\Whalen Pay Machine\src\whalenpaymachine\week3day5.java:40: reached end of file while parsing
"\nEarned a weekly Pay of: " + nf.format(rate * hours));
C:\Users\Daboss\Desktop\IT 215 Java\Compiled\Whalen Pay Machine\src\whalenpaymachine\week3day5.java:41: reached end of file while parsing"


Any help would be appreciated and an explanation so i could learn from my mistakes. Thank you very much!

I do understand I need to add } somewhere I just do not understand where or why!

Java compiler is simply saying code file has ended and that it expects to see more characters.

All opened brackets need to be closed, I think you are missing three.

This is why you'll see code indented. It makes finding missing end brackets a bit easier. Take a look:

public class week3day5 
{

    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        System.out.println("\nEmployee Payment Calculator\n");
        // Input Section
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        String name;
        double rate;
        double hours;

        // Employee Name
        do 
        {
            //needed for scanner class
            Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);

            // get users string
            System.out.print("Enter the employee name: ");
            empName = kb.nextLine();
            if ("stop".equalsIgnoreCase(empName)) 
            {
                // Exit the loop because the user wants to quit
                break;
            }
            // Employee hourly rate:
            System.out.print("Enter the hourly rate: ");
            rate = Double.parseDouble(in.nextLine());
            // Employee hours worked:
            System.out.print("Enter the hours worked:");
            hours = Double.parseDouble(in.nextLine());
            // Output Section
            System.out.println("\nEmployee: " + name);
            NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
            System.out.println("\nEarned a weekly Pay of: " + nf.format(rate * hours));

Can you see where they should be now?

There should be 3 at the end of the file. Once you place them, I think you'll find you have another problem, there seems to be some missing code for the do statement.

Also, watch your variable names. You seem to be calling something name in one place and empName in others.

Give this a try and let us know how it goes.
