Could someone help me solve why the result says i need an ')' ?

Question

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean isSuspended = read.nextBoolean();
int ourScore = read.nextInt();
int theirScore = read.nextInt();

// your code goes here
if(isSuspended is false) {
if(ourScore = theirScore)
System.out.println("Draw");
if(ourScore < theirScore)
System.out.println("Lost");
if(ourScore > theirScore)
System.out.println ("Won");
}else{
if(isSuspended is true )
System.out.println("Suspended");
}
}
}
........................................................................
Im trying to get this code to work in the nested if/else practice.
I think ive set it up at least conceptually well, but the program when run says i need a parenthesis.
Does anybody see whats wrong?
Thanks

Answer 1

Michael Carr you dont need else after every if

Answer 2

Michael Carr

2 general mistakes

1 - (isSuspended is false) not a write syntax, it should be (isSuspended == false)

2 - single equal (=) is used for assignment not for comparison, double equal (==) is used for comparison

Now coming on solution:

you can do like this:

if (isSuspended) {
//Print Suspended
} else {
//rest condition will be inside this part
}

As isSuspended is a type of boolean so it is not necessary to compare with true or false. You can simply write:

if (true) or if(!false)

Answer 3

For boolean there are two possible values true and false
So u don't need using if inside else

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean isSuspended = read.nextBoolean();
int ourScore = read.nextInt();
int theirScore = read.nextInt();

// your code goes here
if(isSuspended ==false) {
if(ourScore == theirScore)
System.out.println("Draw");
if(ourScore < theirScore)
System.out.println("Lost");
if(ourScore > theirScore)
System.out.println ("Won");
}else{
System.out.println("Suspended");

}
}
