Java - question

[Andres Belgy]

hi,

i started college a few weeks ago, and it includes java, and i've got a question, i hope someone is able to help me.

public class oef8 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
        String seizoen, code;
        int aantalN,ster;
        double prijs;


        ster = Invoer.leesInt("give the amount of stars");
        seizoen = Invoer.leesString("give in the season");
        code = Invoer.leesString("give the code");
        aantalN = Invoer.leesInt("amount of nights");
        
        [B][COLOR=#ff0000]if[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000](code.equals("A")){
            prijs = aantalN * 80;
        }
        
            else if(ster == 1){
                    prijs = 30;
            }          
                 else if(ster <= 3){
                          prijs = 40;
                        }
                        else prijs = 55;[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#ff0000]
                 [/COLOR]
        
                      
        if(code.equals("O")){
            prijs = prijs *1.2;
        }    
            else if(code.equalsIgnoreCase("H")){
                     prijs = prijs * 1.5;
                  }
                     else prijs = prijs * 1.6;




                        
                      
        if(seizoen.equals("L") && (code.equals("O") || code.equals("H"))){
            prijs = prijs * 0.9;
        }
        
        prijs = prijs * aantalN;


        System.out.println("de prijs is" + prijs);
        
            
    
        
        
    }
}

my question is something with the brackets, if the code = A it will run the whole progam? i mean with that will the program check if the code = O and so on? my teacher asked if the code equals to A it doesn't have to run the rest of the program because the price is already known,

so that's the question ; are the brackets placed correctly so it will run only the red marked code if code = A

i hope someone is able to help me, thanks in advance.

You could either return the entire method, or place it like:

if(code.equals("A") {
//Only part A
} else {
//The rest of the code.
}

That way it will only execute whatever's placed within the conditional statement A.

Yes but please learn to indent properly, it makes it quite harder to read at the moment.

Whenever a statement is true, that part between the brackets is executed, then it skips the rest of the if statement and executes the other code.
