Help needed with basic program

Question

I am working on an assignment for my java class, and I am stuck. This is the 1st programming class that i have taken and am a little confused. I am supposed to write a program that inputs 5 numbers and determines and prints the number of negative numbers, positive numbers, and zeros that were inputed. I have gone about this a few different ways so far... but I'm not really sure what to do...
This is what I have so far on my latest attempt, which I think might be completely wrong..... HELP!!!
import java.util.Scanner;
public class test
     public static void main (String[] args)
     Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
     int integer
     int negative = 0;
     int positive = 0;
     int zero = 0;
     int studentCounter = 1;
     while (studentCounter <=5)
     System.out.print("Please enter an integer:");
     integer = input.nextInt();
     if (integer == 0
          zero = zero +1
I also tried something similar using :
     int num1; //first number input     
     int num2; //second number input
     int num3; //third number input
     int num4; //forth number input
     int num5; //fifth number input
System.out.print ("Enter first integer:"); //prompts for input
     num1 = input.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter second integer:"); //prompts for input
     num2 = input.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter third integer:"); //prompts for input
     num3 = input.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter forth integer:"); //prompts for input
     num4 = input.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter fifth integer:"); //prompts for input
     num5 = input.nextInt();
but i didn't know what to do next.....

import java.util.Scanner;
ublic class test
     public static void main (String[] args)
     Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
int integer
int negative = 0;
int positive = 0;
     int zero = 0;
int studentCounter = 1;
while (studentCounter <=5)
     System.out.print("Please enter an integer:");
     integer = input.nextInt();
if (integer == 0
          zero = zero +1
This looks more or less correct so far. Not ideal, but aside from a missing ) and the fact that you trailed off without finishing, it looks like you're on track.
Start with this, and post details about what specific problems you're having.
