Question about the task

Seasons on Terra

Java Syntax, Level 4, Lesson 4

Resolved

What's my code wrong ? Thanks a lot!

Write the checkSeason method. Based on a number representing a month, the method should determine and display the season (winter, spring, summer, autumn).

Example for number 2:
winter

Example for number 5:
spring

Hint: the numbers 12, 1, and 2 are winter months; 3, 4, and 5 are spring, etc.

Requirements:

The program should display text on the screen.
The main method should not call System.out.println or System.out.print.
The main method must call the checkSeason method.
The checkSeason method must be static void, and have only one int parameter.
The checkSeason method should display text on the screen in accordance with the task conditions.

package com.codegym.task.task04.task0411; /* Seasons on Terra */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { checkSeason(12); checkSeason(4); checkSeason(7); checkSeason(10); } public static void checkSeason(int month); { if (month >=3 && <=5) System.out.println("spring"); else if (month >=6&&<=8) System.out.println("summer"); if (month >=9&&<=11) System.out.println("autumn"); if(month >=1 && <=12) System.out.println("winter");//write your code here } }

solution

First, on line 16 you have a semi colon that should not be there: ↓ this little guy public static void checkSeason(int month); { Next, The > and < operators are Boolean operators that return true/false based on if the numbers on the left is greater/less than (or equal to with a =) the number on the right. You can not leave out the left or the right number/variable. So month >= 3 is a valid statement that checks if variable month is greater than or equal to 3. Your problem is, for each if statement, on the right side of the && (AND) they all look like this: ” <=5”, which is invalid because it is missing the number on the left. It is trying to evaluate if "blank" is less than or equal to 5. Examples: 5 < 3 - Valid, it has left and right variables to check 5 < 3 > 2 - Invalid, the > operator is missing a variable on its left. The order of operations would have 5 < 3 being evaluated first, which would be false, and then try to evaluate false > 2, which is an invalid operation. The IDE wouldn’t allow this to compile and the red squiggly line would tell you that you can’t apply the > operator to a Boolean and an int.
