JAVA help

Whats wrong with this im just dumb and couldnt figure it out help please

//SLOPE


import java.io.*;
public class SLOPE  {
public static void main(String args [ ]) {
int Y2, Y1, X2, X1;
BufferedReader reader;


reader  =  new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
try     {
System.out.print("\nY2 =");
Y2 = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine( ));
System.out.print("Y1 = ");
Y1 = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine( ));
System.out.print("X2 = ");
X2 = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine( ));
System.out.print("X1 = ");
X1 = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine( ));
reader.close ( );
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("An error accoured while calculating this equation try again");
}
catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
System.out.println("An error accoured while calculating this equation try again");
}


System.out.println( "The slope is" + ( (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)));
}
}

wrong forum would be the first thing that's wrong with it...

You don't need that reader either.
And then your calculation will of course always yield an integer value as you're working with only integers.

which reader? Im kinda confused and lost

I rewrote it, but you really need to work on your conventions: indenting, and naming.

import java.io.*;

  public class Slope
  {
     public static void main(String args [ ]) {
     
     	double y2, y1, x2, x1;
 	y2 =0;
	y1 =0;
	x2 =0;
	x1 =0;

	BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

	try 
	{
		System.out.print("\nY2 =");
		y2 = Double.parseDouble(reader.readLine( ));
		
		System.out.print("Y1 = ");
		y1 = Double.parseDouble(reader.readLine( ));
		
		System.out.print("X2 = ");
		x2 = Double.parseDouble(reader.readLine( ));
		
		System.out.print("X1 = ");
		x1 = Double.parseDouble(reader.readLine( ));
		
		reader.close ( );
	}
	catch (IOException ioe) 
	{
		System.out.println("An error accoured while calculating this equation try again");
	}
	catch (NumberFormatException nfe) 
	{
		System.out.println("An error accoured while calculating this equation try again");
	}
	
	System.out.println( "The slope is " + getSlope(y2,y1,x2,x1));
   }
   
   public static double getSlope(double y1, double y2, double x1, double x2)
	{
		double yValue = y2-y1;
		double xValue = x2-x1;
		double slope = yValue/xValue;
		
		return slope;
	}
}

        }

}

I reworte it a long time ago its in the code snipets under find slope rise and run but thanks for posting that anyway :lol: my next project is much more complex and ill post it here when im done

EDIT:The indenting thing is from not wraping the code tags around it it removed the idents i guess when i posted it :o
