Please, tell me what's wrong with this code

import java.util.Scanner; // program uses Class Scanner public class Adrian2 { //main method begins execution of Java application public static void main(String[] args) { // create a Scanner to obtain input from the command windows Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int number1; //first number to add
int number2; // second number to add
int sum;   // sum of number1 and number2

System.out.print("74"); // prompt
number1 = input.nextInt(); // read number1 from the user 

System.out.print("36"); //prompt 
number2 = input.nextInt(); // read number2 from the user



 System.out.println("Sum is 74+36"); // display the sum

} // end method main

} // end Class Adrian2

You are setting a fixed number in your print line command instead of using the vriables (you never use them but instead just printing a string which contains a fixed number)

your code should look like this:

import java.util.*; public class testing {

import java.util.*; public class testing { public static void main(String[] args) {

 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); // create a Scanner to obtain input from the command windows

 int number1; //first number to add
 int number2; // second number to add
 int sum;   // sum of number1 and number2

 System.out.print("Enter you first number:"); // Enter a first number message
 number1 = input.nextInt(); // read number1 from the user 

 System.out.print("Enter your second number");  // Enter a second number message
 number2 = input.nextInt(); // read number2 from the user

 sum = number1 + number2;  //add number1 variable to number 2 variable and put it in the sum variable

  System.out.println("Sum is " + sum ); // display the sum message
}

}
