'else' Without 'if'

[HomerJaySimpson]

Alright i've been trying to figure out why im getting thie else without if error for about a week now and can't find anything on the interweb. So it's time to ask someone who will know...

Here's the code i have so far...I have tried putting brackets in every order i can imagine but i ended up taking them out. I know the {} is probably why im getting errors but i can't figure it out...Please help

 

import InOut;

class Test1

{
public static void main (String[]args)

{
 String memType, insureType;
 String name, handicap, full, fiveDay, social;
 int count;
 int memCategory, insurePremium, annualSub;
 
 for (count=1; count <=9; count=count+1)
 {
	 name=InOut.readLine();
	 handicap=InOut.readLine();
	 memCategory=InOut.readInt();
	 insurePremium=InOut.readInt();	
	 
 if (memCategory <= 1000)
 {
	 annualSub = 200+insurePremium;
	 memType="Full";
	 full=full+1;
	 
	 else if (memCategory <= 1500)
   annualSub=120 +insurePremium;
   memType="fiveDay";
   fiveDay=fiveDay+1;	
   
  	 else
     annualSub=40;
     memType="social";
     social=social+1;
   }
	 
	 
	 if (insurePremium <= 15)
	 {
  	 insureType="Comprehensive";
   
  	 
	 else if (insurePremium <=10);
  	 insureType="3rd party injury";
  	 
   
	 else
  	 insureType="None";
	 }
	 
	 
	 
   System.out.println ("Name Handicap Membership Annual Subscription");
   
   System.out.println (""+name+"\t"+handicap+"\t"+memType+"\t"+annualSub);
 }
	 
	 System.out.println ("full fiveDay social");
	 
	 System.out.println (""+full+"\t"+fiveDay+"\t"+social);
}
}

   else if (insurePremium <=10);
   insureType="3rd party injury";

 

the semicolon at the end of the else-if line

 

ACTUALLY

 

i'm pretty sure the format goes like this:

 

if (condition)
{
  statement1;
  statement2;
}
else if (condition)
{
  statement3;
  statement4;
}
else
{
  statement5;
  your_mum;
}

ah .. erm, i don't think you can have "else if"...

 

i think it's like

 

if
 blah
else
 if
   blah2
 else
   blah3

 

maybe... it's been a while

 

dangit... that's just the same... bah!

[HomerJaySimpson]

Yeah thats what it said on my pseudocode, but do i put it as:

else
          if
{
              (whatever)
}

I've already tried this way and still keep getting the dang else without if error...

[hardnrg]

please tell me which else is the one causing the problem (should say in the debug error)

Thanx guys....It's too late to start reading, so ill just bring it in to college tomorrow and find out where i went wrong

[cchalogamer]

do something like this

 

if (condition)
{
}
if (condition)
{
}
else (condition)
{
}

If one of the first 2 things id true it will do them (both if both are true) then if neither of the 1st 2 are ture it does the else

 

if you need it to do it differently (as in only choosing one option and never beign able to do 2)

 

use nested ifs

 

 

Im tryign to compile your code, but i dont personally use the InOut setup to get input. Im getting errors on your import line for that idk.

 

 

Ok other than InOut related errors, i have this that gives no if else problems, it was a mix of ; and {} errors.

 

 
import InOut;

class Test1
{
public static void main (String[]args)

{
String memType, insureType;
String name, handicap, full, fiveDay, social;
int count;
int memCategory, insurePremium, annualSub;

for (count=1; count <=9; count=count+1)
{
 name=InOut.readLine();
 handicap=InOut.readLine();
 memCategory=InOut.readInt();
 insurePremium=InOut.readInt();

if (memCategory <= 1000)
{
 annualSub = 200+insurePremium;
 memType="Full";
 full=full+1;

 if (memCategory <= 1500)
 {
  annualSub=120 +insurePremium;
  memType="fiveDay";
  fiveDay=fiveDay+1;
 }
 else
 {
    annualSub=40;
    memType="social";
    social=social+1;
 }
}


 if (insurePremium <= 15)
 {
   insureType="Comprehensive";
  
  
	 if (insurePremium <=10)
    insureType="3rd party injury";
  
  
else
   insureType="None";
 }



  System.out.println ("Name Handicap Membership Annual Subscription");
  
  System.out.println (""+name+"\t"+handicap+"\t"+memType+"\t"+annualSub);
}

 System.out.println ("full fiveDay social");

 System.out.println (""+full+"\t"+fiveDay+"\t"+social);
}
}
