Need help wiith length() method

Write a program that asks the user to enter a word. The program will then repeat word for as many times as it has characters:

Enter a word:
Hello

Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello

To do this you will need to use the length() method that counts the number of characters in a string:

String inputString;
int times;

. . . .

times = inputString.length()

//The above is the question and when run its tells me that the java.lang.String cannot be applied to (int)

and it refers to the line times = inputString.length(word);

 

What is "times = inputString.length(word);" supposed to do? I am not aware of any length method that takes a parameter. What type is the "word" variable?

It doesn't take any parameters. Post your code. I think you have a problem with variable typing somewhere.
