having a little trouble

I am a student and have an assignment due, I have been trying to figure out this issue for the past 3 days and have yet to get this to work properly without errors. Is there anyone who can help me fix this?

netbeans is the IDE we have to use for the class

Please explain what the problem is. post any error messages you get.
Show the program's output and explain what is wrong and show what it should be.

this is the list of errors, the window opens, i enter the information, click the button and this is the result. what it should do instead of all this is to calculate the information and post the result

the problems are on lines 29 and 31 if you copy and paste the entire thing to an ide

Uncompilable source code - Erroneous tree type: <any>

What code is at line 35 in AccurateBMI.java?

Can you compile your program and get errors from the compiler? The IDE seems to hide what the error is.

line 29 = line 35 - comments

line 29(35): totalBMI.setText("Your more accurate BMI is: " + bmiTot); //error part underlined

line 31(37): if (gender == T | gender == t){ //problems underlined

What are the errors?
Common errors would be the variables are NOT defined.
Is bmiTot defined? And is its definition in scope where you are using it?

gender is a String. You need to use the equals() method to test if its contents is equal to the contents of the T variable and the t variable.
Are T and t variables? Where are they defined? Should the be Strings? If so put them in "s

This is editted and fixed one problem but created another

Code :

---

 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        String gender = trueFalse.getText();
        double pounds = Double.parseDouble(heavy.getText());
        double height = Double.parseDouble(inches.getText());
        double wrist = Double.parseDouble(circum.getText());
        double num1 = height*height;
        double bmi = (pounds/num1)*703;
 
        //totalBMI.setText("Your more accurate BMI is: " + bmiTot);
        //totalBMI.setText("Your more accurate BMI is: " + );
        double bmiTot = if (gender == () | gender == ()){
            if (height >= 65 && wrist >= 7.5){
                bmiTot = bmi*.9;
            }else   {
                bmiTot = bmi;
            }                
            }else   {
                if (height >= 65 && wrist >= 6.5 || height > 62 && height < 65 && wrist >= 6.25 || height <= 62 && wrist > 5.75){
                    bmiTot = bmi*.9;
            }else   {
                    bmiTot = bmi;
                }
        };
        totalBMI.setText("Your more accurate BMI is: " + bmiTot);

---

double bmiTot = if (gender == () | gender == ()){

now gives 3 errors stating illegal start of statement

the "t" and "T" are options for a string entry

double bmiTot = if (gender == () | gender == ()){

If statements do not return a value. So what value are your expecting to be assigned to the bmiTot variable?

bmiTot is supposed to return the result of of the if statement's calculation

if i enter it like this:

double bmiTot = //then my error is here (illegal start of expression)
if (gender.equals(T) | gender.equals(t)){
if (height >= 65 && wrist >= 7.5){
bmiTot = bmi*.9;
}else {
bmiTot = bmi;
}
}else {
if (height >= 65 && wrist >= 6.5 || height > 62 && height < 65 && wrist >= 6.25 || height <= 62 && wrist > 5.75){
bmiTot = bmi*.9;
}else {
bmiTot = bmi;
}
};
totalBMI.setText("Your more accurate BMI is: " + bmiTot);

illegal start of expression

What expression do you have to the right of the = ?
Give bmiTot an initial value of 0.0

nevermind. I figured it out, my space provided wasn't big enough.

thank you guys so much for helping me with this!!!

here is the completed code if anyone wants it for anything
