Why doesn't my code work?

Question

static void Main(string[] args)
{
double x = 5;
double y = 10;

if (x + y > 10) ;

{
string bho = "I did it!";
Console.WriteLine("What's up?");
Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("{0}, it wasn't that hard actually", bho);
}
else
{
string gdm = "Goddamnit!";
Console.WriteLine("Whats'up?");
Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("{0},I screwed up!", gdm);
}

Answer 1

Remove the semicolon (;) on the if statement. Your code should work well after removing it.

The if statement should be followed by brackets { } not by semicolons (;)

Answer 2

Thanks a lot :)

Razvan Tivadar Glad to help a buddy out

Answer 4

Bro, Very Simple mistake you do.
You remove semicolon then run it, Buddy.

Answer 5

This should work well

static void Main(string[] args)
{
double x = 5;
double y = 10;

if (x + y > 10)

{
string bho = "I did it!";
Console.WriteLine("What's up?");
Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("{0}, it wasn't that hard actually", bho);
}
else
{
string gdm = "Goddamnit!";
Console.WriteLine("Whats'up?");
Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("{0},I screwed up!", gdm);
}

Answer 6

Oh, ok, but if i wanted to change the if statement to (x+y<10) shouldn't the else statement work?

Answer 7

Razvan Tivadar Yes since x+y = 15
and 15 < 10 is false, the else statement should execute in this case.
