    I HAVE A PROGRAM HERE THAT COMPUTES FOR I/O UTILIZATION. THERE'S ONLY ONE PROBLEM, I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE RIGHT PLACE TO PUT THESE CODE:

    CPU=(mss/(ms+mss+msss))*100;
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "CPU Utlization:"+CPU+"%");

    AS YOU CAN SEE I PLACED THE CODE ON THE LAST PART BUT WHEN I COMPILE THERE'S AN ERROR SAYING
    "variable ms might not have been initialized"

    BUT I ALREADY DID INITIALIZE VARIABLE ms.

    PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE CODE SO THAT THE PROGRAM CAN FUNCTION RIGHT. THANKS
    Code:
      
     import javax. swing.*; 
      
     public class CaseStudy{ 
      public static void main(String[]args){ 
      double ms, mss, msss, mssss, CPU; int input,charc,unit,unit1,unit2,unit3,unit4,card,output,lines,inst; 
      double sec=.010; 
       
      { 
        
       //INPUT PHASE 
           input=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Choose Input Device: \n (1)Keyboard \n (2)Cardreader")); 
              { 
               
             if (input==1){ 
                 charc=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How Many Characters?")); 
     unit=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Number Of Characters:"+charc+"\n In What Unit Of Time?\n(1)Microsecond \n(2)Millisecond\n(3)Second \n(4)Minute")); 
                    if (unit==1) 
                        mssss=(sec/charc); 
                   else if (unit==2) 
                        mssss=(1/charc); 
                  else if (unit==3) 
                        mssss=(1000/charc); 
                   else

    Code:
      public static void main(String[]args){ 
      double ms=[COLOR=Red]0[/COLOR], mss, msss, mssss, CPU; int input,charc,unit,unit1,unit2,unit3,unit4,card,output,lines,inst; 
      double sec=.010;
    
    when you give a value to a variable inside an if
    it is not certain that it will actually get a value!
    that is why you get this error.
