thank you nairalander.

I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU BUT FIRST YOU MUST HELP YOURSELF BY ANSWERING THESE. . .

WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEARN PROGRAMMING?

WHY MUST YOU USE JAVA( ANY SPECIAL REASON OR IMMPRESSION ABOUT THE LANGUAGE?)

WHICH IS HEAVIER? A POUND OF FEATHERS OR A POUND OF GOLD AND WHY(THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU ANSWER!)

WHAT LANGUAGE DOES THE PC UNDERSTAND?

FORGIVE ME IF THE QUESTIONS SOUND UNRELATED TO YOU, BUT AS I SAID, IF YOU NEED MY HELP, I WILL NEED THESE ANSWERS!

1. want to learn because hav got that predilection for programming after being taken through c, java, BASIC, fortran90 and assembly language
and fealt i was outstanding and could create new things on my own
2. yea, cos of the packages built in it, so make application easier, for large programming projects its better since it is object oriented
and more of friendly lang
3. pound of gold, definitely a pound is about 200kg, obviously pounds are not used to measure non-metals, feathers?
4. machine language
pls give me my score card

OKAY DUDE!
YOU PASSED 1,2 AND 4 SO YOU HAVE 3 OUT OF FOUR!
QUESTION 3 WAS TO TEST YOUR ABILITY TO REASON DESPITE THE OBVIOUS( WHICH IS A SKILL EVERY GOOD PROGRAMMER NEEDS) . NOW YOU TELL ME WHY QUESTION 3 IS NOT CORRECT!

FINE YOU SAY YOU HAVE (FROM ANSWER TO QUESTION 1, BEEN TAKEN THROUGH JAVA. HOW GOOD ARE YOU IN JAVA AND WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT TO LEARN? THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN MIND YOU WOULD WANT TO USE IT FOR , IF WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNT SO FAR IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU.

ANOTHER QUESTION:
USING ANY LANGUAGE OF YOUR CHOICE, DO THIS:
A PROGRAM TO CAL. THE ALMIGHTY FORMULA FLAGS ERROR MESSAGE TO USER IF THE DETERMINANT PART IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO ZERO.

CHEERS!

Firstly, you are trying to use a package that doesn't exist. Before, I say anything, can you please what it is you are trying to do? Are you trying to learn how to program? I am asking because I want to understand why you are importing that package.

Thanks you fayimora. I am trying to learn Java. Someone told me i need Java editor (thats why i download Dr. Java and Textpad). I will really appreciate any assistance you rendered to me.

mr kunle download eclipse or netbeans.Create a java project and a java class and run your hello world in the java class.You do not need to import anything to run it.

Thank you Logic, am already doing the download. I will get back to you when am through with the set up.
