    Oh my. Do you really write your code in giant red comic sans?

    Use the highlight tags instead.

    It's okay, but you still haven't used the highlight tags.

    I'm also not sure what your question is. What does this code do? Does it compile? Does it throw an Exception? If so, what line is the problem on?

    You didn't use the highlight tags.

    Also, what is your error?

    EDIT: Oh, you have an if/else statement, with a block for the if and a block for the else, but you never use the else keyword. An if/else statement looks like this:
    if(someCondition) {
     //Do something
}
else { //<-- You forgot this else keyword
     //Do Something
}
    NOTE TO NEW PEOPLE LOOKING FOR HELP ON FORUM:

    When asking for help, please follow these guidelines to receive better and more prompt help:
    1. Put your code in Java Tags. To do this, put [highlight=java] before your code and [/highlight] after your code.
    2. Give full details of errors and provide us with as much information about the situation as possible.
    3. Give us an example of what the output should look like when done correctly.
