Hello all, I am noob java developer and I would like to know why this is happening to my code.

[dumgamer234]

So I was just making a basic program and visual studio and it is saying that I can't convert from int to short when I made the variable a short.
Here is the code part:
short years;
short anniversaries;
years = 7; // remember to make this imput based soon
anniversaries = year/4 ;
and it is saying can't convert from int to short

I see 3 variables.

year
years
anniversaries

Conjecture, java is treating the undeclared variable year as an integer.

I'm not a java programmer, so I could be wrong.
