Help With if's

Hi i'm a year 1 student at university and this is one of my first assignments. just having a little trouble with it.

This is the code

import java.util.Scanner;

class TheatreBookingSystem
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

int age;

System.out.print("Welcome To the Theatre Booking System");
System.out.println("please Enter Customers Age:>");

age = scan.next();



if (age >= 18);
{

System.out.println("You can see the Film, Puppet Show, Sax Player and The Play");
}
else if (age.equals ("< 18") && >= 15)
{

System.out.println("You Can See the puppet Show, Sax Player and The Show");
}
else (age =>12)
{

System.out.println("You can see the Sax Player");
}
if else
{

System.out.println("You can see the puppet show");
}
}
}

this is the compile error

H:\Desktop\AO BBIT\Programming 1\Assignment 2\TheatreBookingSystem.java:23: 'else' without 'if'
else if (age.equals ("< 18") && >= 15)
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

Very common mistake. It's not so bad. What's somewhat bad is the ones you will probably see after fixing that one:
Just remove the semicolon from if(age >= 18);

So I suggest you change

to


Finally, there is a statement that migth give you another error:

Just remove the "if" in front of the "else" and that should do the trick.
