Help with Program!

[mshroom12]

Currently I was assigned an assignment that goes like this:

Write an application that reads values representing a time duration in hours, minutes and seconds and then prints the equivalent total number of seconds.

I use Eclipse to write my software and not that familiar with Java.

Here's what I got so far.

public class TimeDuration {
//
    //  Prints a time duration from hours, minutes, and seconds and converts it into seconds
    //
     public static void main (String[] args)
     {
         double hours, minutes, sec, Xsec;
 
         Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
 
         System.out.print("Enter the number of hours: ");
         hours = Double();
 
         System.out.print ("Enter the number of minutes: ");
         minutes = Double();
 
         System.out.print("Enter the number of seconds: ");
         sec = Double();
 
         Xsec = hours * minutes * sec;
 
         System.class.println ("Time Duration of :" + Xsec);
 
 
     }
                        }

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong and help correct those mistakes?

Thanks a whole lot.

What syntax errors do you have?

[hirak1984]

System.class.println ("Time Duration of :" + Xsec);

this should be

System.class.println ("Time Duration of :" + Xsec);

[mshroom12]

System.class.println ("Time Duration of :" + Xsec);

this should be

System.class.println ("Time Duration of :" + Xsec);

That looks like the exact same thing with no changes.

Here's the list of errors that showed up after I ran the program,

The method Double() is undefined for the type TimeDuration
The method Double() is undefined for the type TimeDuration
The method println(String) is undefined for the type Class

at TimeDuration.main(TimeDuration.java:10)

[r035198x]

System.class.println ("Time Duration of :" + Xsec);

this should be

System.class.println ("Time Duration of :" + Xsec);

You mean System.out.println( ... ?

What is the method Double() supposed to do? There certainly isn't a method
named Double() defined in that class (as the compiler tried to tell you).

That 'class' thingy was just a silly litle mistake.

kind regards,
