Thread: if....else statement

In future, always highlight your code in tags, such as the ones found in my signature. For now, please edit your post to do so.

Points to take note:

• Java is case-sensitive, and String starts with a capital S.
• Your println statement is outside of the main method body, it needs to be inside.
• Make sure each opening curly bracket has a matching closing bracket.
• What you're printing is illegal syntax, should be ("Even numbers:" +even + "odd numbers:" +odd);

int even=0,odd=0;
for(int i=0;i<number.length; i++)
{
if((number[i]%2)==0)
{
even+=1;
}
else
{
odd+=1;
}
}
}
System.out.println("Even numbers":+even +odd numbers: +odd);
}
}
The error is identifier expected, illegal start of type etc.... too many errors only in the last line . Plz help me resolve it . Thanks

But why aren't you using an IDE like eclipse to avoid these kind of issues??

@psabbate IDEs are not the the best thing for beginners. They hide too many aspects of what happens that a programmer needs to know.

Please post the full text of the error message.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Eclipse itself could answer a lot of questions that I 've seen posted here. If the beginners want to "think" like a compiler, they should study for SCJP.

Not many helpers on these forums would agree with you. IDEs are for the more experienced.

Not before they learn about: classpath, packages, folders and the current directory.
The IDEs hide all that so when something goes wrong, they have no idea what happened.

Are there still errors? Please post the full text of the error messages.
