public static void main(String[] args) {

byte choice, conversionAmount = 0, cups = 0 , remaining = 0;
Scanner userIn = new Scanner(System.in);

+ "to cups or 2 to convert teapsoon to cups. > ");
choice = userIn.nextByte();

System.out.print("Enter the amount you want to convert. > ");
conversionAmount = userIn.nextByte();



System.out.print("Enter the amount you entered is equal to "
+ cups + " cups and " + remaining);
if(choice == 1) {
System.out.print(" tablespoons.");
