hi i am trying to use a if if else statement to decide what class is used but netbeans is telling me my syntax is
wrong im pritty sure it aint any help would be great
class names=GoldCustomer,PlatinumCustomer,HighFlyer,Norm Customer


if(noofstays<5){
GoldCustomer object = new GoldCustomer(duration,roomtype,noofstays,gymusage) ;
System.out.println(object);
}else if (noofstays >5 && <9){//nb say ;expected

PlatinumCustomer object1 = new PlatinumCustomer(duration,roomtype,noofstays,gymus age);

}else if(noofstays >9){//else without if
HighFlyer object2 = new HighFlyer(duration,roomtype,noofstays,gymusage); //all variables underlined?

}else {//illegal start of type
NormCustomer object3 =new NormCustomer();

}else if (noofstays >5 && noofstays<9){
this is the solution.
You wrote:
}else if (noofstays >5 && <9){
You should have written:
}else if (noofstays >5 && noofstays<9){

Thats the solution.

Can you supply the whole method?
And make sure it is in [code] tags [/code].
That sort of error is almost always down to a misplaced bracket, or ;, so make sure your code is formatted correctly (Netbeans can do this for you).

[Tolls]

Ah.
Oh well, I never read unformatted code...:)

}else if (noofstays >5 && noofstays<9){
