Thread: Problems with a "if-then and if-then-else" statements

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class TEster {
 
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
			int x;
			char Guess;
			Scanner Number_input = new Scanner( System.in );
			System.out.println("Enter a number: ");
			x = Number_input.nextInt();
		if (x >=50) {
			Guess = 'Y';
		} else if (x <=50) {
			Guess = 'N';		
	System.out.print("Number:" + Guess);
		}
 
 
 
		}
 
 
	}

Why won't Y or N print when i enter a number? I can input a number but after that nothing happens, Y or N should print for "Guess" right?

                else if (x <=50) {
	                Guess = 'N';		
	                System.out.print("Number:" + Guess);
		}
        }        
}

If you look at your if/else if statement, you'll see your problem. What happens when you enter a number higher than 50? What happens when you enter a number lower than 50? What happens when you enter 50 itself? I suggest reading The if-then and if-then-else Statements (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics) for more info about it.
