I am working on a eclipse project for a class i'm taking part in and for some reason this one else if stating keeps giving me the error message "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: Syntax error on token "else", delete this token". I do not know why I keep getting this error and was wondering what to do. Ive attached a picture of the code for context.

there are several issues
so first line 71
it closes the else if with a ;
remove that
then you shouldnt really use Scanner#next()
and never compare strings with ==
but instead use .equals method
although a switch statement might make more sense here

and never compare strings with `==`
Usually.. yes. Extremely rare to purposefully do that.

just dont
thats bad advice for a beginner, because they dont understand what it really does

The semicolons were a mistake and removing them fixed my code and my teacher is making us use the Scanner class for all of our projects this year.

You right. Sorry I butted in!

using scanner is fine
but you should really prefer to use nextLine() when reading input
even if you read a single character, integer or whatever
do the conversion after reading
(usually)

ok thank you I will start to implement that instead from now one and I will also fix the ==s in my code.
