The question is in one of the screenshot.

public class LabProgram {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in); 
      int baseChar; 
      int headChar; 
      
      /* Type your code here. */
      int baseChar = 0;
      int headChar = 1;
      System.out.print("  " + baseChar);
      System.out.print("  " + baseChar + baseChar);
      System.out.print("" + headChar + headChar + headChar + headChar + headChar + baseChar + baseChar + baseChar);
      System.out.print("" + headChar + headChar + headChar + headChar + headChar + baseChar + baseChar + baseChar + baseChar);
      System.out.print("" + headChar + headChar + headChar + headChar + headChar + baseChar + baseChar + baseChar);
      System.out.print("  " + baseChar + baseChar);
      System.out.print("  " + baseChar);

}
}

This is my program, however keeps running into errors. How can I fix it?

you cant declare it twice , but you can set what they equal to.
also, i believe you need to use that scanner class to get input and not hardcode 0 and 1

baseChar =
instead of int baseChar =

also, look at the example print, count the blank spaces, it looks like 5 from where im sitting before the arrow head starts

@paper orbit

one more thing....im pretty sure baseChar would be used for the zeros in the example
and headChar is being used for the one's

Hi, how would I use scanner in this program?

[simple umbra]

have you ever used this
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in); ?

[paper orbit]

not really

[simple umbra]

you can google the common methods for it, but in your case you want the one to get an integer

https://www.w3schools.com/java/java_user_input.asp

once you get this step figured out, the next step is to get your print statements correct.
they were close, but missing some spacing and the variables were backwards

[paper orbit]

So should it be like this?

      int headChar = scnr.nextInt();

[simple umbra]

yeah but since they already declared those variables for you ...
you need to remove the int

     baseChar = scnr.nextInt();
     headChar = scnr.nextInt();

oh 1 more thing i just noticed ..your print statements should probably be using the .println instead of just .print

Thank you so much for helping me. I was able to figure out what I did wrong
