public class GuessAnimal {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String animal = "unknown";
		int weight = 700;
		char sex = 'm';
		double colorWaveLength = 1.630;
		if(weight >= 500) { animal = "elephant"; }
		if(colorWaveLength > 1.621) { animal = "gray " + animal;}
		if (sex <= 'f'){animal = "female " + animal;}
		System.out.println("The animal is a " + animal);
	}
	
}

The above code is an example from a book and i wanted to know why does colorWaveLength print before weight?

Thanks

if animal is currently elephant the following line

animal = "gray " + animal

is really meaning

animal = "gray " + "elephant";

which results in "gray elephant".

Is that what your problem was with?

Only after i read what you put up did i realize i made an error when reading the code.

Thanks for the help!
