This code is meant to be a simple quiz, but I am getting 4 errors that I cannot figure out. Thanks in advance.




import java.io.*;
public class Quiz
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int correctCounter;
InputStreamReader reader;
BufferedReader buffer;
keyboard = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
}

String seekResponse;
{ System.out.println("Welcome to Dan's Quiz .. ");
{
// choose the subject
System.out.println("enter M for Math, S for Science or x for exit");
seekResponse = keyboard.readline();
if (seekResponse.equals ("M")) //Select the Math quiz
{
System.out.println("What is the sum of 120 & 120?"); //Math Question1
System.out.printIn("a. 0");
System.out.printIn("b. 240");
System.out.printIn("c. 220");
System.out.printIn("Press X to exit");
seekResponse = keyboard.readline();
if (seekResponse=("a"))
System.out.println("incorrect answer");
if (seekResponse.equals ("b"))
System.out.println("correct");
if (seekResponse.equals ("c"))
System.out.println("incorrect answer");
else if (seekResponse.equals ("x"))
exit; // do exit logic
System.out.println("What is the product of 12 & 12?"); //Math Question2 Line34
System.out.printIn("a. 144");
System.out.printIn("b. 24");
System.out.printIn("c. 1");
System.out.printIn("Press X to exit");
if (seekResponse.equals ("a"))
System.out.println("correct answer");
if (seekResponse.equals ("b"))
System.out.println("incorrect answer");
if (seekResponse.equals ("c"))
System.out.println("incorrect answer");
else if (seekResponse.equals ("x"))
exit;// do exit logic
}
else if (seekResponse.equals ("S")); //Select the Science quiz
{
System.out.println("A snake is a member of which animal group?"); //Science Question1
seekResponse = keyboard.readline();
System.out.printIn("a. Mammal");
System.out.printIn("b. Amphibian");
System.out.printIn("c. Reptile");
if (seekResponse.equals ("a"))
System.out.println("incorrect answer");
if (seekResponse.equals ("b"))
System.out.println("incorrect answer");
if (seekResponse.equals ("c"))
System.out.println("correct");
}
{
else if (seekResponse.equals ("x"))
exit;// do exit logic

}

You should try and put your code into code blocks next time but here's what I see wrong:

1. keyboard is not declared
2. seekResponse.equals ("M") checks for an upper case letter same with seekResponse.equals ("s")
3. if (seekResponse=("a")) should be if(seekResponse.equals("a"))
4. exit; should be System.exit(1);

Here's what I did for this as an example for you and it is commented out so that you can see what I did in it.


Also I would like to ask what type of environment your using to write java in.

Thanks for the suggestions & the response. I am writing in Java 2 SDK.

System.exit(1) indicates abnormal program termination (crash, error).
Normal termination is indicated by exit code 0.

Yeah, I usually use 0 but, for some reason when I tried to compile the program in eclipse it didn't respond 0 so I went ahead and used 1.
