Scanner.scan / initializing variables
<p>I'm having a simple little problem, I need to have the variable "age" be read from the scanner.scan, where the user inputs a number. It keeps telling me to initialize it, but in order to do that I need to provide the variable with a set whole number, which I don't want to do. How could I fix this?</p>

<pre><code>import java.util.*;

import java.io.*; 

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Person

{

    public static void main(String[]args) 

    {

    int age;

    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter in your age.");

     if (age &lt; 18) 

     {
         System.out.println("Youth is a beautiful thing.");
     } 

     else

     {
        System.out.println("Age is just a state of mind.");
     }


}
}
</code></pre>
