import java.util.Scanner;

class Calculator{
   public static void main  (String [] args) {
       Scanner suslady = new Scanner(System.in);

       int fnum, snum, remander, answer;
       char operation;
       System.out.print ("Enter 1st # ");
       fnum = suslady.nextInt();
       operation = suslady.nextChar();
       System.out.print ("Enter 2nd # ");
       snum  = suslady.nextInt();


   if(operation == '+') {
           answer = fnum + snum;
           System.out.print ("Answer: ");
           System.out.println (answer);
       } 
   if(operation == '-') {
           answer = fnum - snum;
           System.out.print ("Answer: ");
           System.out.println (answer);
       }
   if(operation == *') {
           answer = fnum * snum;
           System.out.print ("Answer: ");
           System.out.println (answer);
       }
   if(operation == '/') {
       remander = fnum % snum;
       answer = fnum / snum;
       System.out.print ("Answer: ");
       System.out.println (answer);
       System.out.print ("Remander: ");
       System.out.println (remander);
   }
   }
}

When I run it it says

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
    Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)

at Calculator.main(Calculator.java:4)

ps. I use eclipse

java

Can you compile the program and get a compilation error? Don't try to execute it.

Which line is line 4?

}
}

I was able to fix it, your error was at this

if(operation == *')

the only error now is when you get the input, since there is no such method as nextChar(); :)

import java.util.Scanner;

class Calculator{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
Scanner suslady = new Scanner(System.in);

int remander, answer;
System.out.print("Enter 1st # ");
String inp1 = suslady.nextLine();
int fnum=Integer.parseInt(inp1);
System.out.print("Enter Operation");
String operat = suslady.nextLine();
System.out.print ("Enter 2nd # ");
String sm = suslady.nextLine();
int snum=Integer.parseInt(sm);

if(operat.equals("+"))
{
answer = fnum + snum;
System.out.print ("Answer: ");
System.out.println (answer);
}

if(operat.equals("-"))
{
answer = fnum - snum;
System.out.print ("Answer: ");
System.out.println (answer);
}

if(operat.equals("*"))
{
answer = fnum * snum;
System.out.print ("Answer: ");
System.out.println (answer);
}

if(operat.equals("/"))
{
remander = fnum % snum;
answer = fnum / snum;
System.out.print ("Answer: ");
System.out.println (answer);
System.out.print ("Remander: ");
System.out.println (remander);
}
}
}

Use this.It's working properly.

Thanks dude it work great! :) :) :)

if(operat.equals("+"))
{
answer = fnum + snum;
System.out.print ("Answer: ");
System.out.println (answer);
}

if(operat.equals("-"))
{
answer = fnum - snum;
System.out.print ("Answer: ");
System.out.println (answer);
}

if(operat.equals("*"))
{
answer = fnum * snum;

if(operat.equals("/"))
{
remander = fnum % snum;
answer = fnum / snum;
System.out.print ("Answer: ");
System.out.println (answer);
System.out.print ("Remander: ");
