    Default Can someone help me out with this

    Hey guys so I made this code for wind chill temp and Im stuck on one part.
    the part Im stuck on is that he wants a programs with dialog boxs and restriction

    "temp ranges -58 - 41 and wind speed greater than or equal to 2. He wants us to have in there that if the user types in an invalid number for both parts a box will pop up and say error.
    I have tried if and else statemnts but i get red line so can someone look over it and help me modify it please

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
     
    public class Temperature {
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            String Temp = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter outside Temperature in Farhrenheit. Temp should be between -58F and 41F");
            double Temperature = Double.parseDouble(Temp);
     
            String Wind = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is the MPH of the wind ex: q.2.3.4.5.6 ect.");
            double WindSpeed = Double.parseDouble(Wind);
     
            double Chill = 35.74 + (0.6215 * Temperature) + (35.75 * (Math.pow(WindSpeed, 0.16))) + (0.4275 * (Temperature * (Math.pow(WindSpeed, 0.16))));
     
            Chill = (int) (Chill * 100 / 100.0);
     
            System.out.println("The Wind-Chill Temperature is:" + Chill);
     
        }//end of main method
     
    }

    What do you mean a redline? Where are your if / else statements for error checking? You should be able to check if windSpeed is out of range or Temperature is out of range.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    YOUR CODE GOES HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Use an if statement to test for the bad value:
    if (bad data) {
    show a message
    }
