386: Mainline

Suppose, for example, that you want to write a program that displays a message that depends on the length of a movie in minutes. Specifically, if the length is greater than 90 minutes, you want your program to display It is long!, and if the length is less than 60 minutes, you want your program to display It is short!.

One solution is to write a program that uses if statements in which the embedded statements are display statements:

public class Demonstrate { 
 public static void main (String argv[]) { 
  int length = 95; 
  if (length < 60) 
   System.out.println("It is short!"); 
  if (length > 90) 
   System.out.println("It is long!"); 
 } 
} 
--- Result --- 
It is long!
