Need some help...:P

Hey Brandonio, started you're tutorials, finished them already, can't wait for you to come out with more, I tried developing an "applet" that uses JOptionPanes, but am failing, so do you think you can help me, if you know how?

D:


Here is what I have:

Code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TriangleArea {

    static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        double base;
        double height;
        double preArea1 = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the base of your triangle:"));
        base = sc.nextDouble();
        double preArea2 = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the height of your triangle:"));
        height = sc.nextDouble();
        double PreArea3 = base * height;
        double Area = PreArea3 / 2;
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The area of your triangle is" + Area + " Units.");
    
    }

}

What this does is open up and ask for the base, I enter it and it just disappears and does nothing, so I suspect I did something wrong. You can't use a scanner with JOptionPanes, can you? I'm so confused <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Can you help me out man?
