Trouble with Input

[Andy Booth]

Im new to Java and am having a little trouble. Ive got a program that displays soem accoutn details and an interest rate. The problem is that I want to make it so the user can enter the account details, but i get an ';'expected error. Teh code is here:

import static java.lang.System.out;

class Account {
String name;
String address;
double balance;

void display(){
out.print(name);
out.print(" (");
out.print(address);
out.print(") has £");
out.print(balance);
}

double getInterest(double percentageRate){
return balance*percentageRate/100.00;

}
}

import static java.lang.System.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

class UseAccount {

public static void main(String args[]){

Scanner myScanner=new Scanner(System.in);

Account myAccount=new Account();
Account yourAccount=new Account();

String myAccount.name=myScanner.next();
myAccount.address="222 Cybe Space Lane";
myAccount.balance=24.03;

yourAccount.name="Andy Booth";
yourAccount.address="19 Moor Drive";
yourAccount.balance=55.63;

myAccount.display();

out.print(" plus £");
out.print(myAccount.getInterest(5.00));
out.println(" interest ");

yourAccount.display();
double yourInterestRate=7.00;
out.print(" plus £");
double yourInterestAmount=yourAccount.getInterest(yourInterestRate);
out.print(yourInterestAmount);
out.println(" interest ");

}
}

The problem line is in bold.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks Alot!

Fixed it! Just had to remove the "String" before myAccount.name. Ive got another problem now though, when I enter a name, if I put a space in it only uses the first word, so no good for putting "Andy Booth" because it just takes it as "Andy". How can I solve this?

Cheers

use the nextLine() method of the Scanner class, this will read in the whole line, not just the first token
