I am a beginner and Im having trouble with this Java Lab. I think its almost done!

// Ive been banging my head on the wall trying to get this pgm to work for a couple days now.

// Can any one help me?


// Write a program that asks the user's name, and then greets the user by name.
// Before outputting the user's name, convert it to upper case letters.
// For example, if the user's name is Fred, then the program should respond
// "Hello, FRED, nice to meet you!".


import java.io.*;

public class ques1 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String userName; // userName, as entered by the user
String upperCaseName; // usersName, converted to uppercase letters.


try{

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.println("Please enter your name: ");

userName = reader.readLine( );

userName = userName.toUpperCase();

upperCaseName = userName;

System.out.println("Hello, " + upperCaseName + ", nice to meet you!");

} catch (IO exception io){}

// end main()

} // end class

Also, it looks like you're missing the main() closing bracket.

One comment.

As a beginner, it is always good if you lern to indent the code. This helps you when it comes to finding errors.

The forum strips white space if you don't wrap your code with [code][/code] tags when posting.
Indenting, and pasting in the forum, makes reading the code easier.
