I am also having problems with my if statement, any advise?

public class Level{

public static void main (String[]arg){

int percentage;
char grade;

System.out.println("What percentage did you achieve?");
percentage=UserInput.readInt;

if (percentage >=70<100) {
grade= 'D';
} else if (percentage =>60) {
grade= 'M';
} else if (percentage =>40) {
grade= 'P';
} else if (percentage =>35) {
grade= 'N';
} else if (percentage =>0) {
grade= 'F';
} else if (percentage =<-1 101>) {
grade= 'M';
}

What do you want to do with these statements?

Java Code:

if (percentage >=70<100) 
else if (percentage =<-1 101>)

You should use something like this:

Java Code:

if (percentage >=70 && percentage < 100)

Java Code:

else if (percentage <= -1 || percentage > 101)

&& means AND
|| means OR

Thanks, nice games by the way!!!

now its stating illegal expression tho?

if (percentage >=70 && <100) {
grade= 'D';

what is less than 100 here?

Understand that you have two different statements that are being checked for equality, this:

percentage >= 70

and this

< 100

You never specify exactly what is being tested to be less than 100.

Fubarable... you may want to reconsider how much effort you put into Soc86 code/questions...

He/she has absolutely no idea what he/she is doing... no basic programming knowledge, much less java.
Suggestions given before have been ignored.

see my comments:

I'm not saying that Soc86 shouldn't get any help, but I'm afraid what help is given will not be understood.... on top of that, I'm starting to get the idea that Soc86 might be looking for the gimme-working-code sorta stuff (I hope I'm wrong about this).

Thanks for the heads-up Chris. If you're right, and he is totally lost, then his best bet would be to leave the forum and get some one-on-one help through his teacher or through tutoring.
