The operator || is undefined for the argument type(s) boolean, int

Question

I have little problem with my Java code. I am using Dr.Java and it is giving me the error message that "The operator || is undefined for the argument type(s) boolean, int". If anyone could please

import java.util. Scanner;
public class Days

{ public static void main( String [] args)
  { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in) ;
    System.out.print(" What month is it  ? " );
    int month= in.nextInt();
    System.out.print( " What day is it " );
    int day = in.nextInt( );




    **if( month == 1 || 2 || 3 )**
    {  System.out.print( " Winter" ) ;
    }
    else 
    {
      System.out.print( " Fall " ) ;
    }


}
}  

Solution 1

month == 1 || 2 || 3

first part of expression would return boolean and you cannot || boolean and int

change it to

if( month == 1 || month == 2 || month == 3 )

or

if( month >= 1 &&  month <= 3 )

considering month is int

Solution 2

Your syntax is wrong. Correct syntax is

if( month == 1 || month == 2 || month ==3 ) { .... }
