Ok, I have absolutely no idea what is going on for my compiler errors. I am not worried about the last part where I have to put in the letter code. I am just trying to figure out how to make this compile correctly for line 43 to work. I am getting tired of easter egging with it and the tutor at my school is always busy because we are coming up upon finals week. This is not a final project, just another lab that I have to turn in. My partner and I have been struggling with this since last week Wednesday.


----jGRASP exec: javac -g Student.java

Student.java:43: 'else' without 'if'
else clear (minScore);
^
1 error

----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.
----jGRASP: operation complete.

public class Student
   {
      public static final int MAX = 5;
   
      private String name;
      private int[]  scores;
      private int    finalScore;
   
      public Student(String name)
      {   
		   this.name = name;
			scores = new int[MAX -1];
			finalScore = 0;// Fill in the constructor to initialize all of the instance variables
      }
   
      public void add(int score, int which)
      {   
		   if (score < MAX)
			   scores[which] = score;
			if (which <= 0)
			return finalgrade;   // Fill in this method to set a score in the scores array. 
       // If which is zero, set the final exam grade (finalScore)
      }
   
      public void clear(int which)
      {   if (score[which] = 0)

         System.out.printf("%-25s", name);
         for (int i=0; i<5; i++) System.out.printf("%3d ", scores[i]);
         System.out.printf("    %7.2f       %7.2f       %c\n"

      {
         return name.equals(who);
      }
   
   }  // End of Student class
if (minScore > scores[i]);

remove the ;

an if (just like a lot of other 'blocks') can be given a scope in two ways:
either you put the code between { /*enter code here */}
OR the 'block' ends at the first ;

Fantastic. Thank you very much. Now I have a couple more errors, but I can figure them out myself I am sure. I appreciate the help.
