title: if else statements
body: <p>I'm having a problem with this question can anyone help? an explanation would be nice rather than the answer the answer it self.    </p>
  
  <p>Write a statement that compares the values of  score1 and  score2 and takes the following actions. When  score1 exceeds  score2 , the message "player1 wins" is printed to standard out. When  score2 exceeds  score1 , the message "player2 wins" is printed to standard out. In each case, the variables  player1Wins, ,  player1Losses ,  player2Wins, and  player2Losses, , are incremented when appropriate. Finally, in the event of a tie, the message "tie" is printed and the variable  tieCount is incremented.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    if(score1&gt;score2)
       {
           System.out.println("player1 wins");
           player1Wins++;player2Losses++;
       }
      else if(score2&gt;score1)
       {
           System.out.println("player2 wins");
           player2Wins++;player1Losses++;
       }
      else if(score1=score2)
       {
          System.out.println("tie");
          tieCount++;
       }
  </code></pre>
