ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

As the previous poster correctly said, you do not use quotes for assigning values to integers. Quotes are used for Strings...
Corrected code should be :
class Hello {
public static void main (String[] args) {
int minute, hour;
minute = 59;
hour = 11;
System.out.print ("The time is ");
System.out.print (hour);
System.out.print (":");
System.out.print (minute);
System.out.print (".");
}
}
Nic-MDKman was right. You don't need the double quotes for an integer, double, float, etc. Double quotes are only used for strings. Also, you don't need a new print statement for each segment, you can combine them as follows:
System.out.print ("The time is ", hour, ":", minute, ".");
Also, System.out.println can be used and will automatically append a new line character ('\n') to the end of the string.
Personally, I've done a fair amount of programming in Java, and I found the only thing it is useful for is it's easy to program GUIs with it. Other than that, I far prefer C. But hey, thats just my opinion. If you like it, have fun.
