Hello again

I've got another java problem for whoever is interested, howvever its alot more complex than the others.

I've been asked to prepare a program that will conduct the following:


Write a program that reads in two String variables from the user and store in variables stringOne and stringTwo respectively. Please note that the input from the user should not be limited to single word strings.
Perform the following operations as listed below, in a given sequence:
• Prompt the user for a specified index and display the character in that position for each string
• Prompt the user for a character to search within the each of the strings and display whether the character exists or not
• Display the number of characters in each string respectively
• Replace both strings with their uppercase equivalent respectively and display both strings
• Concatenate both uppercase strings, store the result in stringOne and display it

For each of the operations listed above, you will need to print the resulting output to screen.

Now, I've put alot of efort and have come up with the following code:

/**
* @(#)stringclass.java
*
* stringclass application
*
* @author
* @version 1.00 2008/3/12
*/

import java.util.*;



public class stringclass {
static Scanner three = new Scanner(System.in);

public static void main(String[] args)
{

// Defines both strings
stringOne Name, Home, Number;

stringTwo Name1, Home1, Number1;

System.out.println("What is your Name?");
Name=three.next();


System.out.println("Where were you born?");
Home=three.next();


//Reads back name to user

System.out.println("Hello "+Name+"welcome.");
Name1=Name.toUppercase();


//Says you were born in
System.out.println("You were born in:"+Home);
Home1=Home.toUppercase;

//Asks for number in worded form

System.out.println("Print a number between 5 & 8 in words:");
Number=three.next();


//Says what is in both Stringone and Stringtwo


//Changes Name, Home and number to Uppercase

System.out.println("Your Name in Uppercase is" +Name1);

System.out.println("Your Birthplace in Uppercase is" +Home1);

System.out.println("The Number you typed in Uppercase is"+Number1);

//Concatenate strings into stringone and display



}
}


As you can see it is incomplete. At the momment I am unable to get the program to read the two strings I have defined at the top. It keeps on coming up with an error saying "Cannot find symbol" I am uncertan if i've forgotten something or done something wrong, because it is near identical to all the other programs I have created so far.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks again

There're a few syntax errors in your coding :
the lines :
stringOne Name, Home, Number;

stringTwo Name1, Home1, Number1;

must be replaced by :
String stringOne, Name, Home, Number;

String stringTwo, Name1, Home1, Number1;

For the following lines :
Name1=Name.toUppercase();
Home1=Home.toUppercase;
the right syntax of the method is toUpperCase()

Also, the coding doesn't correspond to the needs of your homework. You made it too complex.

Be careful about how you add variables to srtings, something like this:
System.out.println("You were born in:"+Home);
would produce this output for me:
"You were born in:Spokane"
Notice there is no space in between the : and Spokane.
You did the same thing here:
"Hello "+Name+"welcome."
That would produce "Hello Brianwelcome" for me. Just add a space before wlecome.
