can some one help

this is my code

import java.util.Scanner;

/*
*/

class MultiTable
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);

int Count, chooseNumber; // variables things that change

System.out.println("Please enter a number between 1 and 100 ");
chooseNumber = input.nextInt();

for (Count = 1; Count <= 12; Count++)

{
if ( chooseNumber >= 1 && chooseNumber <= 100 )
System.out.println( Count + " * " + chooseNumber + " = " + (Count * chooseNumber));

else
System.out.println("The number you have entered is out of range" );

}

}
}

thanks

It is because you have the if statement inside the for loop so it will execute it every time around the loop. Perhaps you should have it the other way around.

How do I rectify that then?

Thanks

Check the condition, before you start the loop. If the condition is satisfied, start the loop otherwise not.

You can also accomplish this with a break; after the error message, or set count so it won't meet the loops condition

at your else body you can enter the following instruction:
Count = 13;
