    Red face if....else statement

    hi ,everyone . I am again presenting a simple code in which the line system.out .println has some errors. The code is

    class ifelsetest
    {
    public static void main(string args[])
    {
    int number []={50,34,87,19};
    int even=0,odd=0;
    for(int i=0;i<number.length; i++)
    {
    if((number[i]%2)==0)
    {
    even+=1;
    }
    else
    {
    odd+=1;
    }
    }
    }
    System.out.println("Even numbers":+even +odd numbers: +odd);
    }
    }
    The error is identifier expected, illegal start of type etc.... too many errors only in the last line . Plz help me resolve it . Thanks

    In future, always highlight your code in tags, such as the ones found in my signature. For now, please edit your post to do so.

    Points to take note:
    • Java is case-sensitive, and String starts with a capital S.
    • Your println statement is outside of the main method body, it needs to be inside.
    • Make sure each opening curly bracket has a matching closing bracket.
    • What you're printing is illegal syntax, should be ("Even numbers:" +even + "odd numbers:" +odd);
    Please use [highlight=Java]//code goes here...[/highlight] tags when posting your code

    But why aren't you using an IDE like eclipse to avoid these kind of issues??

    @psabbate IDEs are not the the best thing for beginners. They hide too many aspects of what happens that a programmer needs to know.

    has some errors

    I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Eclipse itself could answer a lot of questions that I 've seen posted here. If the beginners want to "think" like a compiler, they should study for SCJP.

    Not many helpers on these forums would agree with you. IDEs are for the more experienced.

    IDE's are good for beginners.

    Also, Error on the last line, check to see how many }'s you have.

    Not before they learn about: classpath, packages, folders and the current directory.
    The IDEs hide all that so when something goes wrong, they have no idea what happened.
