Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)

[Sanjana Sharma]

public class Beta {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 String str = "null";
  if (str == null) {
 System.out.println("null");
 } else (str.length() == 0) {
 System.out.println("zero");
 } else {
 System.out.println("some");
 }
 }}

compiling the above code throws the following compilation error.

You've got two else clauses. The first should be else if.

Hi Sanjana,

You have two else statements. If you correct that your code will compile and run;)
