Please explain me the mistake I made

Question

import java.util.Scanner;

public class myclass{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Please Enter you Age");
Scanner age = new Scanner(System.in);
if (age<18){
System.out.println("You are UNDERAGE");
} else {
System.out.println("WELCOME");
}

}
}

actually, I also have a doubt that I got the user input(his age) is it stored as an int in the variable age, because in the print statement then why are we adding the nextint() function??

Answer 1

age is a Scanner, not an int. Scanner's purpose is to get input from the user. You have to declare an int. Then assign it with age.nextInt();
