When I compile the code below I get this error message : " illegal start of expression " The code is :public class MySwitch { public static void main (String[] args) { String MyString1="Tando"; String MyString2="Sibanda"; int MyInt1=-5; int MyInt2=-9; System.out.println(MyString1); // Output is : Tando System.out.println(MyString2); // Sibanda System.out.println(MyInt1); // -5 System.out.println(MyInt2); // -9 MyInt2= MyInt2+5; // Adding (-9)+(5) System.out.println(MyInt2); // Output is 4 int i=1; if (MyInt1==Myint2) ; =(MyInt1==MyInt2); switch(i) { case 1: System.out.println(MyInt1);break; case 2: System.out.println(MyInt2);break; } } } HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

int i=1; if (MyInt1==Myint2) ; Need to capitalize MyInt2

Jordan is right, but it also looks like your code was botched by the forum. Try running your code through my little converter, then post it. Let me know if it doesn't work quite right.
