Question

Why am I getting this area message :

3Num.java:38: error: ')' expected

         System.out.println(num1+""+num2+""num3);

                                           ^

3Num.java:38: error: illegal start of expression

         System.out.println(num1+""+num2+""num3);

import java.util.*;

public class ThreeNumbers

{

   static Scanner console=new Scanner(System.in);

   public static void main(String[]args)

   {

     double num1, num2, num3;

     double temp;

     System.out.print("Enter 3 numbers.");

     num1=console.nextDouble();

     num2=console.nextDouble();

     num3=console.nextDouble();

     System.out.println();

     if(num1>num2)

     {

         temp=num1;

         num1=num2;

         num2=temp;

       }

         System.out.print("Numbers in descending order are: ");

         if(num3>=num1)

        System.out.println(num3+""+num1+""+num2);

       else if(num1>=num3&&num3>=num2)

        System.out.println(num1+""+num3+""+num2);

         else

         System.out.println(num1+""+num2+""num3);

   }

}     

Explanation / Answer

You missed the '+' sign before num3 in the following statement

System.out.println(num1+""+num2+""num3);

It should be..

System.out.println(num1+""+num2+""+num3);
