Lets fix those issues.

Here is the corrected code with comments to help you understand the errors and the fixes.

public class Test1

if (x > 0)

//in the below line there was a semi-colon missing at the end of the statement. Adding that

System.out.println("x is greater than 0");

else

//In the below line there was a starting double quote missing

System.out.println("x is less than or equal 0");

}

}
