A user types a word and a number on a single line. Read them into the provided variables. Then print: word_number. End with newline. Example output if user entered: Amy 5
Result should read as: Amy_5
import java.util.Scanner;

public class SpaceReplace {
public static void main (String [] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);
String userWord = "";
int userNum = 0;

/* Your solution goes here */

return;
}
}-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I have so far this is the code and the product I'm getting:

Am I missing a step in the codes? userNum is an int and not a String, could this be why my setup isn't working? Thank you to all who reply and assist.View attachment 5885

It appears to me that you aren't prompting the user for input, and so when the output is displayed you have the initial values for the two variables being displayed.
 
The problem statement does not seem to say anything about prompting the user. But Mark is right that OP's program does not read anything.

OP, you should read your textbook or Java documentation about reading methods in the [m]Scanner[/m] class. These methods include [m]next()[/m] for reading the next word and [m]nextInt()[/m] for reading the next integer.

Thanks! This is the solution I achieved after applying the correct code/nextInt.
