Here's my code
I'm not sure what I've done wrong. If someone can tell me, and show me how to fix it, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class ProgramC

{
String accNum;

System.out.print("Enter your account number.");
accNum = console.nextString();


switch(accNum)
{
case 46728:
System.out.println(" Account Number: 46728\n Account Type: Savings\n Minimum Balance: $1,000\n New Balance:$"+2700*0.04);
break;
case 87324:
System.out.println(" Account Number: 87324\n Account Type: Checking\n Minimum Balance: $1,500\n New Balance:$"+7689*0.03);
break;
case 79873:
System.out.println(" Account Number: 79873\n Account Type: Savings\n Minimum Balance: $1,000\n New Balance:$790");
break;
case 89832:
System.out.println(" Account Number: 89832\n Account Type: Checking\n Minimum Balance: $1,000\n New Balance: $725");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid Account Number.");
}
}

Here are the error messages.

Save this somewhere else (notepad, etc) and redo this. as soon as you get one compile error, fix it before moving on.

console is not defined, and you need all that inside a method. wouldnt surprise me if there are more problems

I'm very new to programming, and if I re-wrote this, I would do it the exact same way. I just don't see where my problem is. I can pay for the help if needed.

Don't write the whole thing then compile when it's done. you get the mess you see. compile it line by line. i recommend using an IDE. when you just have 1 problem at a time, it's much easier to trouble shoot.

I use an IDE, jGRASP. I'm trying to re-write it, still getting problems though.

....fixed it, thanks. The only problem was that I left out, "static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);"

IMO make this object oriented....

make a class account or client what ever.

attributes:
accountNo
accountType
minBalance
newBalance

with a get/set on each. then instead of making a switch to make a hardcoded display, you just display it dynamically example :
System.out.println(" Account Number: " + client.getAccountNumber + " \n Account Type: " + client.getAccountType + "\n Minimum Balance: $" + client.getMinBalance + "\n New Balance: $" + client.getNewBalance * 0.04 + ")";

imo replace....

Also, you're using a String for your switch and comparing to integers. You're gonna have problems here. You should put your cases in quotes, so...

This is assuming you're using JRE1.7. If you're using an earlier version of Java, you must use integers for your switch.
