Accessing variables to create matrices

[squibber321]

How do I create a program that takes user input and prints out a matrix. Ideally I would want to have the use to decide the number of matricies, the number of rows and columns and a sum, multiply, devide of the matricies when they are complete.

Thanks

You haven't told us what's wrong with the code.

Your class does a big part of what your task. However, it has some pretty obvious compilation error.

I expect them to be typo errors but if you are new to java, please note that static variables can be defined only as class members. They can never be defined as local variables in a method.
