Re: if else issues
Are you by any chance getting a message saying
"else without an if" or something like that?
You might wanna check your brackets.
For instance, this would be an issue that might cause an else to not be seen.
if (variable == 5)
System.out.println("Ut oh");
System.out.println("Aw man");
else
System.out.println("What happened?");
doing this will fix that problem:
if (variable == 5)
{
System.out.println("Ut oh");
System.out.println("Aw man");
}
else
System.out.println("What happened?");
The previous one only had the first statement go with the if. The second one was extra and hence caused it to mess up the if and else structure as the it acted like an intermediary statement, hence making it an else without an if.
I can't be more specific as you don't have any code posted.
