Variables, If, else

[ElmuKelmuZ]

I have experience of Lua, and Ive lately started to learn Java.
I made this simple program to test if- and else-statements in Java, however something here is wrong, and I do not understand the error that output gives me.

import java.io.*;
class Main {
* public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
int num = 15;
string str = "Hey";
string str2 = "hey";

if (num == 15)
* * System.out.println("If!");
else
* * System.out.println("Else!");

if (str ~= str2)
* * System.out.println("Strings not equal");
else
* * System.out.println("strings equal!");

* * BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
* }
}

whats with all the asterisks? its not going to compile with all the **. I would suggest taking them all out except the one in import.java.io.*

Yes, get rid of the asterisks and instead use [code] [/code] tags around your code blocks posted on the forum.

Alright I copy and pasted it into my computer to find your errors. and here is what i found(

1. Don,t use asterisks except for the import.

2.when declaring a non primitive like String you must captilize it in the declaration on line 5&6.

3.I assume since you said you used lua that you put ~for dont on line 13. It does not mean that in Java replace it with a !.

4.I dont know if you have some special use or not for it but i ran the program fine in my command prompt without the import,BufferReader,and InputStreamReader.
