    if you have semicolon immediately after if condition, it means "do nothing". It must have thrown error at the line contains "else"

    I got it figured out thanks for the advice I just made it more complicated then it really was

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Java3
    {
    	public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
     
    		int n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, total = 0;
    				Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
     
    				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
    				n1 = scan.nextInt();
     
    				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
    				n2 = scan.nextInt();
     
    				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
    				n3 = scan.nextInt();
     
    				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
    				n4 = scan.nextInt();
     
    				System.out.println("Please enter a number");
    				n5 = scan.nextInt();
     
     
    		     if(n1 > 0)
    		     System.out.println("The number entered is Valid");
    			 else
    	    	 System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
    		     if(n2 > 0)
    		     System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
    			 else
    	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
    		     if(n3 > 0)
    		     System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
    			 else
    	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
     		     if(n4 > 0)
                 System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
    			 else
    	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
    		     if(n5 > 0)
                 System.out.println("The number entered is valid");
    			 else
    	         System.out.println("The number entered is invalid");
     
    	         total = n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5;
    	         System.out.println("The sum is " + total);
     
    		 }
    	 }

    Shorter way for you

    if (n1 > 0 && n2 > 0 && n3 > 0 && n4 > 0 && n5 > 0)
      do your tasks if those input numbers are valid
