merci beaucoup.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Exercise19
{
public static void main(String [] args){
Scanner QueenOfDaimond = new Scanner(System.in);


System.out.println("Enter firstnum: ");
int fnum = QueenOfDaimond .nextInt();
System.out.println("Firstnum: "+fnum);

Scanner AceOfDiamonds = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter secondnum: ");
int snum = AceOfDiamonds .nextInt();
System.out.println("Secondnum: "+snum);
}


if (fnum is in range) {
if (second num is in range) {
// calculate the ouput
} else {
// print second num not in range }
} else {
// print fnum is not in range}if (fnum is in range) {

if (second num is in range) {
// calculate the ouput
} else {
// print second num not in range
}
} else {
// print fnum is not in range
}
}

Thanks, I see I what I have missed. Btw. I was trying to workout some random online exercises about the scanner, I have done some easy one except this one:
Write a program to input two numbers using Scanner class, the first number in the range 1 to 13 and the second number in the range 1 to 4. When the numbers are entered check that they are in the correct range. If not issue an error message using println().
Output the card face (or type) for the first number and the suite for the second number.
Your output should have a message such as “Queen of Diamonds” for the input of 12 and 2. The Ace of Diamonds would be 1 and 2; the Ace of Clubs would be 1 and 1.
Hint use two switch statements and the order of suites is Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades.

I could do only:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Scanner{

public static void main(String [] args){
Scanner QueenOfDaimond = new Scanner(System.in);

int firstnumber = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13;
int secondnumber = 1,2,3,4;


System.out.println("Enter firstnum: ");
fnum = QueenOfDaimond .nextInt();
System.out.println("Enter secondnum: ");

}
}
Can you explain me how to built things like that?
I cannot thank you enough its very kind of you to teach me a lot.

As for the if and switch statements, that is up to you.
You should know how to write a simple if statements or how to use the '>' or the '<' operator, as well as the '&&' and the '||'.
If not, I can not teach you these thinks, you need to study for yourself.

Also search for the sun tutorials to find how to work on a switch. You should be able to find an example
