compound if statement

For example:String myCar = "chevy";

if (myCar.equals("honda") || myCar.equals("toyota"))// if (false or false) evaluates to false

{

System.out.println("1. This shouldn't print");

}

if (myCar.equals("honda") || myCar.equals("chevy"))// if (false or true) evaluates to true

{

System.out.println("2. This will print");

}

if (!myCar.equals("honda") || !myCar.equals("toyota")) // if (true or true) evaluates to true

{

System.out.println("3. This will print");

}

if (!myCar.equals("honda") || !myCar.equals("chevy")) // if (true or false) evaluates to true

{

System.out.println("4. This will print");

}

this works

String attributeToChange.=" "

if(!attributeToChange.equals("a") &&

(!attributeToChange.equals("b") )&&

(!attributeToChange.equals("c))) {

attributeToChange= "this var is NOT equal to a , b or c";

}else{

attributeToChange= "this var IS equal to a , b or c";

}
