if else statements and using images

[Joshr]

I am looking for a way to ask a user to choose between two images and upon their answer the appropriate image appears. It is for a class I am taking and we are suppose to do this using an if else statement. The suggestion that I have been given is to declare a static instance variable at the beginning of the class. I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions on how to do this?

What do you think? Make a start and see how far you come. Than ask again.

Break the problem down into separate steps.
1) Ask a question and get a response from a user.
2) display an image

You can use a static variable but it is NOT needed.
Design the program first, then decide how to implement it.

Why static anyways?

[Joshr]

The static variable was just the suggestion given by the instructor. I thought that it was because you can only use static variables with static methods. However after doing some reading and messing around with this last night I think I have figured out a way to do this. The problem I am having now is when I attempt to assign the graphic to a variable I am getting an illegal start of expression error. I am troubleshooting this now to the best of my ability however i have only been doing this for like 6 weeks, so it is still incredibly new to me.

Can u give more information on the error. Any stack trace ?

[Norm]

When you get an error, copy and post the full text here. There is info in it that will help solve the problem.

maybe its a user error

type the whole problem so we can see the error

And, of course, post your code when posting the stack trace... (highlight the given lines)
