Thread: If else statement not working.

I'm trying to make a test on java. So far I'm on Question 1 and I'm having this issue. The if else statement won't allow me to add to the score.

class ExamEngine {
    static CinReader Cin= new CinReader();
    static int Score=0;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Type in your name.");
        String name=Cin.readString();
        System.out.println("Hello " +name+".");
        System.out.println("Welcome to your Midterm.");
        System.out.println("Type in the correct word for the definition below.");
        System.out.println("Spelling counts, so make sure you spell the answer correctly.");
        Question1();
    }
        public static void Question1()
    {
        System.out.println("          ");
        System.out.println("1. The operator (=) used to store the value of an expression into a variable, for instance"); 
        System.out.println("variable = expression; The right-hand-side is completely evaluated before the assignment is made.");
        System.out.println(" An assignment may, itself, be used as part of an expression.");
        System.out.println("The following assignment statement stores zero into both variables. x = y = 0;");
        String Q1=Cin.readString();
        if(Q1.equals("assignment operator"))
        System.out.println("Good job!");
        Score++;
        else{System.out.println("Incorrect.");
        }
    }
}

If I remove the "Score++;" bit, everything is fine. But I need to add to the score when they answer a question right. However, with "Score++;" there, I get this issue: 'else' without 'if'.

Note that this cannot be multiple choice, so that's why I'm using if-else, because I don't think a case system would work here.

Is there a way I can make this work while adding to the score?
