HELP! Urgent.

Hi guys, I get and error saying " 'else' without 'if " in this statement:

if (angled >0 && 180<angled) {
System.out.printf("\n angle D = %f",+ myQuad.angled());
else
System.out.printf("This does not make the total of 360 degrees");
}

Can anyone help me with this? I have to hand this in tomorrow.
Thanks

Check the placement of your curly brackets.

kind regards,

Jos

you else is embeded in the if statement
if-else needs to be in this format
if (1 == 1){
//do something
}
else
{
//do nothing
}

Got that bit working. just a minute ago. thx guys

but it won't find angle D when i input angle a,b,c..

Hi sorry for posting something irellevant, but just wanted to ask, i have just posted a post and says should be up after mod checks... how long does this take (sorry i am new to this)

thanks. I'm sure it was something to do with the curly brackets

Thx. I get this error which is the same code i posted at the top. It says:

angle D = Exception in thread "main" java.util.IllegalFormatConversionExceptio
: f != java.lang.Integer
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.failConversion (Unknown Source)
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.printFloat(Unk nown Source)
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.print(Unknown Source)

I changed the print method numerous times and still cannot get passed this.

Do you know the exact problem to this??

Check the + operation in the code you originally posted. And make sure it is the right format specifier for whatever argument you use in the code you are currently using. (%d for ints and %f for floating point arguments.)

Yeah, I looked up on the internet and used %d and it worked. Thanks boss :)

You're welcome.

The API docs are too much to try and remember, but well worth bookmarking as a place to go to when haveing trouble getting printf to print the way you want: Formattable (Java Platform SE 6)
