Hello; i'm trying to build a java calculator application; I keep getting errors
when i compile; this is the error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\javap>javac Calc.java
Calc.java:46: variable result might not have been initialized
System.out.println("Answer= " + result);
^
1 error

---------------------------------------------------------------------

and this is the code; mind you i AM a beginner, so any help AT ALL would
be great.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

public class Calc
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{

String another = "y";

while(another.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))
{
System.out.println("Enter the first number: ");
int first = Keyboard.readInt();

System.out.println("Enter operator (+, -, * or /): ");
int op = Keyboard.readInt();

System.out.println("Enter second number: ");
int second = Keyboard.readInt();

int result;

switch(op)
{
case '+':
result = first + second;
break;

case '-':
result = first - second;
break;

case '*':
result = first * second;
break;

case '/':
result = first / second;
break;

default:
System.out.println("Wrong operator; use +, -, *, or / functions");

};
System.out.println("Answer= " + result);
System.out.println("Another calculation? (y/n) ");
another = Keyboard.readString();


}

}

}

-----------------------------------------------------------------

basically what it's meant to do is ask the user for a number, then an operator,
then a number than give an answer. if the user wants to make a another calculation,
s/he pressed "y" and it goes through again.

the problem i have (apart from the error ) is that i dont know how to allow
for multiple calculations:

eg; 4-3+34=blah or 56*6-12=blah

please help me!
