[FIXED] How to use greater than and less than in a single if statement in Java

Issue

I made a BMI calculator. One of the things I have to do is add categories using if statements. 18.5 to 24.9 normal weight so that would be one of the categories.

This is the way I have tried to do it.

else if ( (bmi >18.5) && (<24.9))

Obviously this won't work for me, what way should I write this I feel like there is a way to write 18.5 to 24.9 instead of using greater than or equal to but I honestly don't even know what to look up.

Solution

Use

if ( bmi > 18.5 && bmi < 24.9)

Unfortunately, Java does not support a 'BETWEEN' operator (like what SQL does e.g).
