It is understandable that Java can be verbose, but 15 minutes followed by failure, make the author seem almost clueless about Java.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Addup {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int i1 = sc.nextInt();
int i2 = sc.nextInt();
System.out.println(i1 + i2);
}
}> The extensive class library is however quite daunting. It appears there's a class for almost everything, and much of "programming in Java" seems to consist of "searching for the right class". Even after two years I find I cannot do much in Java without constant reference to the documentation.
It's not hard in itself, but it is overly long, with a lot of things to remember.
I'm actually kind of embarassed I had so much trouble with this - I've been working on a commercial Java package for two years, but because it's GUI based I rarely have to deal with reading from the console. Real Java programmers will probably look down on me with a mixture of pity and disgust. Such is life.
