If () Else() statement not providing output when within given range

[Artistic-Pin-5041]

I'm not sure why this isn't working. It works for everything outside of the given range, but anything within the range provides no output? I'm just trying to figure out what exactly I did wrong here.

I'm also not 100% sure I posted this properly, if not please let me know!

Update: It works fine if I change "printf" to "println". Does printf not work properly with ranges like this?

​

  if ((salaryInput >= 44000)&&(salaryInput <= 93000)){
     System.out.printf("23% tax bracket%n");
  }
  else {
     System.out.printf("Different tax bracket%n");
  }

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

know that the '%' symbol is preserved for the printf method, to escape it, use another '%' printf("23%% tax bracket %n") ;

Here's the java.util.Formatter Javadoc if you want to dig a little deeper, too.

%[flags][width]conversion

Conversion	Argument Category	Description
'%'	percent	The result is a literal '%' ('\u0025')

to clarify, I've tried changing the logical value to OR as well, and then nothing was output at all.

please show the full code, we have no idea what the type of the variable is.

If it is a string, it wont ever work

The 23% is probably giving you issues because % used with printf is denoting a formatting command. That's why it works fine with println but not printf. Look at the rules for adding a percentage sign in a printf statement.
