Thread: if statement help

Char variables only contain a single character, and they are defined like 'a', 'b', or 'c'.

Strings can contain any number of characters and are defined in "double quotes", not 'single quotes'.

Also, your if statement is assigning 1 to your songResult variable, not checking whether your songResult variable is 1. Use == instead.

Also also, you should really use standard naming conventions and correct indentation.

I'm not really sure what you're asking. Are you just asking about the || operator? Recommended reading: Equality, Relational, and Conditional Operators (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)

I suggest writing out the rules that you want to determine what gets printed out. If you can't explain it in English (in a list of rules, not vague descriptions or examples), then you won't be able to write it in code.

Hint: You can have two if statements, one after the other, without using the else keyword. Something like:

if(x > 0){
   System.out.println("X is greater than zero!");
}
if(x > 10){
   System.out.println("X is greater than ten!");
}

If x is, for example, 15, then both print statements will be triggered. If x is 5, only the first one will be triggered.
