I was looking at my schedule for work today and told myself, "I want to make something in java that will tell me how long I work each day to practice." Nothing overly advanced, in fact it may be one of the most simple things you can do, right? Well, I got it to do that. It's just I'm a little confused about certain things.

That's what I wrote. Here's what I'm trying to think of a way to get it to do. I want to just be able to type in Hour:Minute instead of having two or more separate scanner inputs (or whatever you may call them).

I don't need immediate help since this is just me trying to learn little by little, but help would be appreciated.

read in the entire line as a single string.
split it on :

Don't make your entire program in the main method. Indent properly.

What does indenting have to do with anything?.....Isn't that just personal preference?



Thanks.

You were asking for help. Those two points define the absolute foundation of any readable code.
