Unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown

Thank you for taking the time to help. I really appreciate it.

I am getting the above error and am not sure which direction to proceed. In the class, the only way we have discussed getting user input is by System.in.read. I have searched and apparently found better methods for getting user input, but wanted to stick with what has been presented thus far.

Assignment Directions:















1. Create a new class named “valuemethod”















2. Create a new method named “Main”















3. In Main Write the code that will call the method EnterPay and YearlySal















4. Create a new method named “EnterPay”















5. In the EnterPay method Write the code that asks the user to input their hourly wage. Use the formula to calculate their yearly salary: wage * 2040. Return the yearly salary to the main method















6. In the main method write the code that will display this: “Your yearly salary is:

Java Code:

package valuemethod;

public class Valuemethod 
{

    public static void main(String[] args) 
    
        //throws java.io.IOException -- moved to EnterPay
    {
        //double HourlyWage = EnterPay();
        double YearlySal = EnterPay();  
        System.out.println ("Your yearly salary is: $" + YearlySal + "." );
    }
        
        public static double EnterPay()
        throws java.io.IOException
            {
                double HourlyWage = 0;
                double YearlySal = 0;
                
                        {
                            System.out.print("Enter your hourly wage:");
                                   HourlyWage = (double) System.in.read();
                        }
                        YearlySal = HourlyWage*2040;
                        return YearlySal;
            }
                 
}
