// below is my first program with more than one method am having trouble debugging it though. I am new to both programming and java. any help is appreciated.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class checkup
{
private int patientNumber;
private int bloodPressSys;
private int bloodPressDia;
private int ldl;
private int hdl;

public static void main (String[] args)
{
int patientNumber;
int bloodPressSys;
int bloodPressDia;
int ldl;
int hdl;
Scanner inputDevice = new Scanner (System.in);

System.out.print("Please enter a patient number: " );
patientNumber = inputDevice.nextInt();
System.out.print("Please enter patient's Systolic Blood Pressure: " );
bloodPressSys = inputDevice.nextInt();
System.out.print("Please enter patient's Diastolic Blood Pressure: " );
bloodPressDia = inputDevice.nextInt();
System.out.print("Please enter patient's LDL Cholesterol: " );
ldl = inputDevice.nextInt();
System.out.print("Please enter patient's HDL Cholesterol: " );
hdl = inputDevice.nextInt();
}
public static double computeRatio (String[] args)
{
double computeRatio;
computeRatio = (ldl % hdl);
return computeRatio;
}

public static void explainRatio ()
{
System.out.println (" HDL is known as Good Cholesterol. Any ratio of 3.5 or lower is considered optimum. ");
}

public static double patientInfo (String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Patient number is " + patientNumber +
" Systolic Blood Pressure is " + bloodPressSys +
" Diastolic Blood Pressure is " + bloodPressDia +
" Cholesterol number is " + computeRatio + explainRatio);
}
}

download jedit to create java text files...

go to utilities and launch terminal

cd to where your java files are stored ex: cd documents/javafiles

then do as usual javac file.java
