class MilesToKms{
  public static void main (String[] args)throws Exception{
    //1 mile = 1.609 344 kilometer;
    int miles
    Scanner  scan= new Scanner (System.in);
    System.out.print("Enter a number of miles: ");
    float km = miles * 1.609344f;
    System.out.println(miles + " miles is " + km + " kilometers.");
  }
}

You're missing a semicolon. Also, the value of miles will be 0 because it was not assigned another value; simply creating a Scanner will not change the value of miles. You have to say: miles=scan.nextInt(); And don't forget to put scan.close(); at the end of the program.

P.S. We call it a method, not a function.

Use NetBean or elipse for the IDE...

Don't type code without IDE

Pls install JDK first before install IDE

P/S IDE mean Debugger

miles=scan.nextInt();
scan.nextDouble()........ When you dot you will see the option....

System.out.println("thanks");
