Hello and good evening,

I've just started Java/programming two days ago and I seem to struggle with nested if/else statements. I've provided my current 'project' down below. The if statements when female works just fine, but the male statements always gives out both the possibility with Mr and the possibility with Name + lastName.

Thanks in advance! Please be respectful, I've really just started programming

Java

import java.util.Scanner;
public class GenderGame {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		//System Objects
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		//Variables
		String Male = "Male";
		String Female = "Female";
		String Married;
		
		
		System.out.print("What is your gender (male or female):");
		String gender = keyboard.nextLine();
		System.out.print("Firstname:\t");
		String name = keyboard.nextLine();
		System.out.print("Last Name:\t");
		String lastName = keyboard.nextLine();
		System.out.print("Age:\t\t");
		int age = keyboard.nextInt();
		
		if (gender.equalsIgnoreCase(Female) && age >= 20) {
			System.out.print("Are you married, " + name + "? (yes or no)");
			Married = keyboard.next();
			if (Married.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"))
				System.out.print("Then I shall call you Mrs. " + lastName + ".");
			}else{
				System.out.print("Then I shall call you " + name + " " + lastName + ".");
			
	
		
		if (gender.equalsIgnoreCase(Male) && age >= 20) 
			System.out.print("Then I shall call you Mr. " + lastName + ".");
		if (gender.equalsIgnoreCase(Male) && age < 20) 
			System.out.print("Then I shall call you " + name + " " + lastName + ".");
		
	
		}
	}
}

What I have tried:

Tried a bunch of fiddeling around with the curly bracets but couldnt get it to work

import java.util.Scanner;

public class GenderAndMarigeStatus {
// i made some changes and now is okey
public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

String m = "Male";
String f = "Female";
String Married;

System.out.println("What is your gender (male or female):");
String gender = s.nextLine();

System.out.println("Firstname:");
String name = s.nextLine();
System.out.println("Last Name:");
String lastName = s.nextLine();
System.out.println("Age:");
int age = s.nextInt();

if (gender.equalsIgnoreCase("m") && age >= 20) {
System.out.println("Then I shall call you Mr. " + lastName + ".");
System.exit(0);
}
if (gender.equalsIgnoreCase("m") && age < 20) {
System.out.println("Then I shall call you " + name + " " + lastName + ".");
System.exit(0);
}
if (gender.equalsIgnoreCase(f) && age >= 20) {
}

System.out.println("Are you married, " + name + "? (yes or no)");
Married = s.next();

if (Married.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"))
System.out.println("Then I shall call you Mrs. " + lastName + ".");
else {
System.out.println("Then I shall call you " + name + " " + lastName + ".");

}
}
}

An unformatted code-dump is not a solution to this already solved question.

And you don't help anyone by doing their homework for them.

This sniffs of homework so I'm going to blurt out an answer, but look at your curly braces and make sure every closing brace is matched up with an opening brace and the other way around.
