Solution Start by importing the swing java package. We need this to make calls to the JOptionPane class. import javax.swing.*; Define your variables, we will need a String for your name and an int for age. //local variables String name; int age; Next, start by capturing the user input using JOptionPane.showInputDialog. We will need to use Integer.parseInt to cast the string result to an integer for the user's age. //input name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your name") ; age = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your age")); Now output your message using JOptionPage.showMessageDialog. Make sure first parameter is null. Don't forget to use the + operator when appending strings (sometimes referred to as concatenation). //output JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to COMP1010 " + name + ", you are " + age + " years old today.");
Code Solution Code import javax.swing.*; public class PersonalGreeting { public static void main(String[] args) { //local variables String name; int age; //input name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your name") ; age = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your age")); //output JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to COMP1010 " + name + ", you are " + age + " years old today."); } }
