No idea how to fix this and I require expertise. (New to Java)
I'm just testing out different basic operations like if statements etc and already at a wall.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class yes {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner test = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What is 5+5? ");
int value = test.nextInt();
if (test = 10)
{
System.out.println("You are correct!");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Error!");
}
}
}

The problem is in the line
if (test = 10)
test is your Scanner instance. It's a bad name, so it's not too surprising that you missed that. Try to get into the habit of naming variables with meaningful names, even if they are long. It'll help you in the long run.
value is what you called the number that you get from your Scanner, so the first step is to fix the name in the if:
if (value = 10)
Once you've done that you'll still get an error, because = is an assignment, but you want to compare two values for equality, which is ==:
if (value == 10)

Edit: I have found a way to work with CompareTo to help with this problem, but for some reason I cannot get the count down to work.
It's a negative number that needs to get more negative to meet the requirements, but I am missing something here. When I execute the down section it closes the program. So to me this means that I have something messed up and the program isnt seeing the problem and closing.
We are supposed to:
Ask the user for an integer then ask the user if he/she wants to count
up or down. Display a table of numbers where the first column contains
the counter, the second column contains the counter plus 10, and the
third column contains the counter plus 100. Make it so each number
takes up 5 spaces total.
If counting up, the first column should contain numbers 1 through the
user input; If counting down, the first column should contain numbers
-1 through the the negative of the user input;
Do user input validation on the word "up" and "down". Allow for any
case.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ps1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
//Comparision string already declared
String up = "up";
String down = "down";
//initialize the counters sum
int sum = 0;
//ask the user for a number
System.out.println("Enter an ending value");
int num1 = keyboard.nextInt();
keyboard.nextLine();
System.out.println("Count up or down?");
String input = keyboard.nextLine();
while (input.equalsIgnoreCase(up) || input.equalsIgnoreCase(down)) {
System.out.println("Count up or down?");
input = keyboard.nextLine();
}
if (input.compareToIgnoreCase(up) == 0) {
if (num1 >= 0)
for (int c = 1; c <= num1; c++) {
sum = sum + c;
System.out.printf("%5d%5d%5d\n", c, c + 10, c + 100);
else
System.out.println("Up numbers must be positive");
if (input.compareToIgnoreCase(down) == 0) {
for (int c1 = -1; c1 <= num1; c1--) {
sum = sum + c1;
System.out.printf("%5d%5d%5d\n", c1, c1 + 10, c1 + 100);
}
}
}
}
}

I see you have figured out core logic. BTW, your code will not compile, there is a syntax error.
Your code would look like this:
print(a a+10 a+100)
I know that it's not valid syntax but you would be able to figure out the correct way to write the code.
To print data properly, you will need following:
https://dzone.com/articles/java-string-format-examples
I would recommend visualizing the output first. In your case, it would look like following: (_are spaces)
Enter an ending value: 2
Direction: Up
____1___11__101
____2___12__102
Also, think about error cases. What will happen in following:
Enter an ending value: -10
Direction: Up
Error: Improper data

You are allowing user to enter a positive num1 and count down using for (int counter1 = -1; counter1 >= num1; counter1--). This makes no sense as counter1 >= num1 resolves to -1 >= 1 which is never true. When direction is down the number must be negative and when direction is up the number must be positive.
You might need to loop until user provides a valid direction. Currently you go down for any input that is not up. A possible solution would be to:
String input;
do {
input = keyboard.nextLine();
} while (!input.equalsIgnoreCase("up") && !input.equalsIgnoreCase("down"));
Please use shorter variable names. counter1 is scoped just to the for loop block so call it i. It's easier to read.
Whichever editor you are using configure auto formatting :)

I am currently taking a HS course on java, so I am a novice at java to say the least. Right now, for my own use, I am writing a program to take a 2 digit number, and then add up it and all the odd numbers before it till 1. I have the Scanner, calculating whether the number is odd or even, and the runner methods done already(the basic bit), but am a bit confused on the logic. I am trying to use a recursion, and do this code, but am a bit stuck. It would be helpful if you could point me in the right direction, without giving the whole code away. Thanks, - A Novice Programmer
public static void main(String[] args)
{
MathRecursion tester = new MathRecursion();
tester.Method1Runner();
}
public void Method1Runner()
{
GetIntM1();
OddOrEven();
System.out.println("\n\n");
}
public void GetIntM1()
{
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("\n\n\nEnter a 2 digit integer: ");
twoDig = kb.nextInt();
}
public void OddOrEven()
{
if (twoDig % 2 == 0)
{
//This is even method
Method1a(twoDig);
}
else
{
//This is odd method
Method1b(twoDig);
}
}
public int Method1a(int a)
{
//if (a = 1)
int result = 0;
while (a<=b)
{
result+=a;
a++;
}
System.out.println("The sum of all numbers is "+result);
}

You don't need recursion. The sum of the first n odd numbers is n*n.
The number of odd numbers before a number x is floor(x/2) or in Java (int) x/2 or if x is an int, just x/2.
So the expression in Java that gives you "a 2 digit number, and then add up it and all the odd numbers before it till 1" where the number is stored in int x is:
x + (x/2) * (x/2)
or simplified:
x + x*x/4

Lately I've worked on simple calculator that can add, substract, multiply and divide.
public static void main(String arr[]){
double num1, num2;
String ans = null;
System.out.println("Calculator manu:");
System.out.println("\n"+"a for adding");
System.out.println("b for substracting");
System.out.println("c for multiplying");
System.out.println("d for dividing");
Scanner NumInput = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("\n"+"Enter number one: ");
num1 = NumInput.nextDouble();
System.out.println("\n"+"Enter number two: ");
num2 = NumInput.nextDouble();
while(true)
{
Scanner AnsInput = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("\n"+"Choose operation.");
String answer = AnsInput.next();
if(AnsInput.equals("1"))
{
answer = Double.toString(num1+num2);
System.out.println("\n"+"The sum of the first and second number is: "+answer);
}
else if(AnsInput.equals("2"))
{
answer = Double.toString(num1-num2);
System.out.println("\n"+"Subtraction of the first and the second number is: "+answer);
}
else if(AnsInput.equals("3"))
{
answer = Double.toString(num1*num2);
System.out.println("\n"+"The product of the first and second number is: "+answer);
}
else if(AnsInput.equals("4"))
{
answer = Double.toString(num1/num2);
System.out.println("\n"+"Ratio of the first and the second number is: "+answer);
}
}
}
But what if I want to wright program that works like an ordinary calculator; it adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides, ... ,but not only whit two but multiple numbers.

This can certainly be done! Although it requires substantial framework. However, if you want to use this type of simplistic code, what you need to do is store the numbers somewhere else, outside this function, and every two numbers you apply an operation to, you store it and use it as the first argument along the third you wanted to use. And so on. Does this make sense?

This is the code, where are the run time errors? I tried and tried to find it but I just could not, does anyone else see where these errors could be within the code?
public class HasErrors
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
Scanner in = new Scanner("System.in");
x = in.readInt();
System.out.print("Please enter another integer: ");
x = in.readInt();
System.out.println("The sum is " + x + y);
}
}

If you're instantiating a new Scanner with System.in it shouldn't have quotes around it:
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
See here.

Well if a user enters in somethign other than a number, say Hello World, then readInt() will throw an InputMismatchException. Also the Scanner class does not have a readInt function. I think you meant to put nextInt.

Along with the readInt errors already mentioned, X and Y will be concatenated in the println statement rather than added. This could be fixed by putting the x + y in parentheses.
