Thread: If statement issue

For some reason, when I create an if statement in my public double price() class, it gives me an error which says: This method must return a result of type double

 public double price()   
 {   
   double price = diameter;
   if(price>=6 && price<=10)
   {
     price = 5.25;
     return price;
   }
 }

I just want to know how I'd be able to use an if statement in this class, because it won't let me.

The compiler wants the method to return a value for all cases when the if condition is true AND when it is false. The posted code does not return a value when the if condition is false. Add a return statement.

Giving a method and a variable the same name can only lead to confusion.

Aha! Thanks Norm. You've helped me multiple times, I really appreciate your dedication to this great forum.

Agreed, I'll keep that in mind. Although seeing how small my code is, it isn't that big of a deal
