Answer 1

I think you basically just need to switch around these two statements:

public class ComputeAndInterpretBMI {

public static void main(String[] args) {



i.e.:

public static void main(String[] args) {

public class ComputeAndInterpretBMI {



...as main should be the first thing after import java.util.Scanner.



If that doesn't work, try removing the line:

public class ComputeAndInterpretBMI {



and its closing bracket at the end.

Answer 2

You can't have main() inside that class like you do now. This cannot happen because main is the first thing the compiler looks for, and it will only see

class ComputeAndInterpretBMI

You need to simply cut the main function out of the class declaration. The class instance can only be created after main() is called, not before.

So take your class, separate it from main(), and put main somewhere else.

Answer 3

When you run this file run the COmptueAndInterPRetBMI.java and nothing else otherwise it will say that error.
