Question

What is wrong with the following code fragment? AND Rewrite it so that it produces correct output.

Java Code:

if (total == MAX)

if (total < sum)

System.out.println(“total == MAX and < sum.”);

else

System.out.println(“total is not equal to MAX”);

Answer 1

Answer:

Issue here is with curly braces. I have modified the code. It wil work as expected.

when you dont mention the curly braces if statement will treat like single statement. In our case, we did not mention the curly braces, so it treats like with in if condition there is if-else statement. That is the issue here.

if (total == MAX){

if (total < sum)

System.out.println(“total == MAX and < sum.”);

}

else

System.out.println(“total is not equal to MAX”);
