if and else

if (condition) { ... } runs the block when the condition is true; else { ... } runs otherwise. The condition sits in parentheses and must be a boolean. Braces mark the block; Java lets you drop them for a single statement, but keeping them avoids a classic bug where a second line looks indented into the branch and is not.

The checks in this lesson change score before running main, so main has to work for any score, not just the one in the starter.

if (age >= 18) {
    System.out.println("adult");
} else {
    System.out.println("minor");
}

Your task

In main, print pass when score is 50 or more and fail otherwise. Then, on a second line, print perfect only when the score is exactly 100 (no line at all otherwise).

public class Main {
    static int score = 72;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (score >= 50) {
            System.out.println("pass");
        } else {
            System.out.println("fail");
        }
        if (score == 100) {
            System.out.println("perfect");
        }
    }
}
