    Default Problem with code

    Hello!

    I'm really new to Java and i've ran into a problem. I'm making a program that asks you for your age and tells you what you can do at that age. Here is the code:

    package switchpkg;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner auto = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Tell me how old you are and i will tell you what you can do");

    int age;

    int month;

    age = auto.nextInt();

    if(age == 1);
    System.out.println(age);



    System.out.println("Now... Tell me which month it is");

    month = auto.nextInt();
    System.out.println("Your lucky number is:"); System.out.println(month + age);

    switch(age){

    case 1:
    System.out.println("You can crawl");
    System.out.println("And you are to young to do this test, error!");
    break;

    case 2:
    System.out.println("You can talk");
    break;

    case 3:
    System.out.println("You can get into trouble");
    break;

    default:
    System.out.println("My knowledge doesn't reach that far!");
    break;




    }


    }

    }



    This is how it turns out:

    Tell me how old you are and i will tell you what you can do
    1
    1
    Now... Tell me which month it is
    2
    Your lucky number is:
    3
    You can crawl
    And you are to young to do this test, error!


    I want the You can crawl after: "Tell me how old you are and i will tell you what you can do" and just only one 1 here:

    Tell me how old you are and i will tell you what you can do
    1
    1
    Now... Tell me which month it is


    Sorry for the long post. Kind of a newbie.

    Thanks!

    Default Re: Problem with code

    Well one of the '1's is the input you provided, and the other is you printing out the age of the user.
    If you only want one '1' appearing altogether, remove
    System.out.println(age);
    Please use [highlight=Java]//code goes here...[/highlight] tags when posting your code

    if(age == 1);

    Hmmmm....there's a ; after your if.

    That should be removed.
