Can anyone tell me why my program is giving me a output of fizz9 instead of just fizz?

Question

import java.util.Scanner;
/**
 * Write a description of class fizzbuzz here.
 *
 * @author (your name)
 * @version (a version number or a date)
 */
public class FizzBuzz
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        int n = in.nextInt();
        boolean fizz = n % 3 == 0;
        boolean buzz = n % 5 == 0;

I can only use fizz and buzz in the conditions.

        if (fizz)

        {
           System.out.println("fizz"); 
        }
        if (buzz)
        {
            System.out.println("buzz"); 
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println(n); 

        }
        System.out.println();
    }
}

the 1st `if (...) { ... }` is separated from the 2nd `if (...) { ... } else { ... }`. — Turing85, Apr 27 '22 at 21:32

The problem is your else statement. If n is a multiple of 3 (but not 5), fizz will be true (thus printing "fizz"). However, buzz will be false (thus printing n).

Are you sure you want to print n at all? Maybe you meant to check to make sure that both fizz and buzz were false? (If so, you should change it from else to else if (!fizz)).

Can anyone tell me why my program is giving me a output of fizz9 instead of just fizz?
