Thread: Am I close to having this right? If statements

write a program that will ask the user to enter five numbers.using If statements if each number entered in greater than zero



import.java.util.Scanner;

public class Java3
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
function addNumbers(n1, n2, n3, n4, n5){
var finalNumber = 0;
if(n1 > 0);
if(n2 > 0);
if(n3 > 0);
if(n4 > 0);
if(n5 > 0); {
finalNumber = n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5
console.log(finalNumber);
} else {
console.log("Please enter a number greater than 0")
}
}

addNumbers(1, 2, 3, 4, 5,);

if you have semicolon immediately after if condition, it means "do nothing". It must have thrown error at the line contains "else"

Excellent. What do you get from post #2?

I got it figured out thanks for the advice I just made it more complicated then it really was

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Java3
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
 
		int n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, total = 0;
				Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 
				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
				n1 = scan.nextInt();
 
				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
				n2 = scan.nextInt();
 
				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
				n3 = scan.nextInt();
 
				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
				n4 = scan.nextInt();
 
				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
				n5 = scan.nextInt();
 
 
		     if(n1 > 0)
		     System.out.println("The number entered is Valid");
			 else
	    	 System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
		     if(n2 > 0)
		     System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
			 else
	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
		     if(n3 > 0)
		     System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
			 else
	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
 		     if(n4 > 0)
             System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
			 else
	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
		     if(n5 > 0)
             System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
			 else
	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
 
	         total = n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5;
	         System.out.println("The sum is " + total);
 
		 }
	 }

Shorter way for you

if (n1 > 0 && n2 > 0 && n3 > 0 && n4 > 0 && n5 > 0)
  do your tasks if those input numbers are valid
