how do i get this code to work

[divinity02]

hi guys, j

how are you all doing, i havent been here for a while, anyone miss me, jus kidding anyway i am trying to build this program, it is just a practice thing but I am getting this error and havent got a clue how to make it work and why i am getting the syntax error.

int passcar = 297;
        int lighttruck = 350;
        int motorcycle = 500;
        int boat = 297;
        int numofv;
        int numofacci;
        char yes;
        char no;
        int DUI;

        double totalaccident, localdui, totalbpremium, totalinsurcost;
        String allvehicles,typeofcar,passengercar;

        System.out.println("enter the amount of number of vehicles");
        numofv = in.nextInt();

        System.out.println("enter number of accident");
        numofacci = in.nextInt();

        System.out.println("have you ever been convicted of any DUI");
        DUI = in.nextInt();

        for(int i = 0; i<numofv; i++)
        {
            totalbpremium = 0.0;
            localdui = 0.0;
            totalinsurcost = 0.0;

            System.out.println("what type of car do you wish to acquire");
            typeofcar = in.nextLine();

            if(typeofcar.EqualsIgnoreCase.("passengercar"))
            {

the last line of the code is where I am getting the err. which is if(typeofcar.EqualsIgnoreCase.("passengercar") this is where the error is. can anyone explain it to me much thanks in return

It is probably the "." you have between "EqualsIgnoreCase" and "("

[stultuske]

if(typeofcar.EqualsIgnoreCase.("passengercar"))

that's just one of the problems.
the correct way is:

if(typeofcar.equalsIgnoreCase("passengercar"))

so, remove the . and change your method call: equals and equalsIgnoreCase, just like any other method start with a lower case.
