Hi,
I need to know if we can use the if satament with methods and how? and what is the illegal start of expression?

You can use the if statements inside your methods.

In what particular line of code do you encounter the illegal start of expression. If you have a code pls post it here (",)

if (any expression that results to a boolean) {
  // any code
} else if (...) {
  // any code
} else {
  // any code
}

That small example means that you can call anything you want inside the if statements. And you can put that if-statement wherever you want. After all the main method is also a method so you can put your ifs inside other methods that you can call.
