the exit phrase

-----------------------------------

:oops: 

Ok I have a if block inside a try block as such:



try {

     if ("Hey".equals("hey") {
          System.out.print("The above two are equal, which they are not!");
     } else {
          exit;
     }

}




why would this gimme an syntax error and not exit the if and after ending the try block?

simple, its because thats not how you use try. look at the exception tut for detail about try & catch.
int your case, you do not need try at all, so your code will simply be
     if ("Hey".equals("hey") 
          System.out.print("The above two are equal, which they are not!");
     else
          System.out.println("they are not equal, because i am right");

if you MUST use exit, the syntax is System.exit(int status), unless you import static System class, you cannot just say exit, and static import is only supported in java1.6 i believe :roll:
