Break problem

Question

I'm having trouble finishing this program, I can't seem to figure out whats wrong with it, I keep getting an error message I don't understand. Here's my code so far:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class PickTint
public static void main (String[ ] args)
int letter, colour;
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println ("R Red");
System.out.println ("O Orange");
System.out.println ("Y Yellow");
System.out.println ("G Green");
System.out.println ("B Blue");
System.out.print ("Choose a colour from menu above :");
letter = scan.nextInt( );
colour = letter;
System.out.print ("You chose ");
switch (colour)
case 'R':
System.out.println ("Red");
break;
case 'r':
System.out.println ("red");
break;
case 'O':
System.out.println ("Orange");
break;
case 'o':
System.out.println ("Orange");
break;
case 'Y':
System.out.println ("Yellow");
break;
case 'y':
System.out.println ("Yellow");
break;
case 'G':
System.out.println ("Green");
break;
case 'g':
System.out.println ("Green");
break;
case 'B':
System.out.println ("Blue");
break;
case 'b':
System.out.println ("Blue");
break;
default:
System.out.println ("a non-existent item");
Any advice?

Answer 1

Any advice?yep
1) post using [code] tags2) if you have an error, whether you understand it
or
not, post it here. my psychic powers don't work on
Thursdays, I don't know about anyone elses
3) try and not guess what the problem might be(break
problem) - tell us what's actually going wrong
4) watch the Bikini Bandits movie. you'll never
listen to tool the same way again :-)okay, lets try again....
import java.util.Scanner;
public class PickTint
public static void main (String[ ] args)
int letter, colour;
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println ("R Red");
System.out.println ("O Orange");
System.out.println ("Y Yellow");
System.out.println ("G Green");
System.out.println ("B Blue");
System.out.print ("Choose a colour from menu above
letter = scan.nextInt( );
colour = letter;
System.out.print ("You chose ");
switch (colour)
case 'R':
System.out.println ("Red");
break;
case 'r':
System.out.println ("red");
break;
case 'O':
System.out.println ("Orange");
break;
case 'o':
System.out.println ("Orange");
break;
case 'Y':
System.out.println ("Yellow");
break;
case 'y':
System.out.println ("Yellow");
break;
case 'G':
System.out.println ("Green");
break;
case 'g':
System.out.println ("Green");
break;
case 'B':
System.out.println ("Blue");
break;
case 'b':
System.out.println ("Blue");
break;
default:
System.out.println ("a non-existent item");
} slightly better. now, what's this error you're on about?
