Java - ' ) ' expected error

Question

Bellow is part of a code I'm making that calculates volumes. I'm getting the "' ) ' expected error" 2 times. First on -> if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("esfera"){ , and the second one at -> if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("cilindro") { . Can someone help me? :/

private static double volume(String solidom, double alturam, double areaBasem, double raiom) {
double vol;

    if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("esfera"){
        vol=(4.0/3)*Math.pi*Math.pow(raiom,3);
    }
    else {
        if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("cilindro") {
            vol=Math.pi*Math.pow(raiom,2)*alturam;
        }
        else {
            vol=(1.0/3)*Math.pi*Math.pow(raiom,2)*alturam;
        }
    }
    return vol;
}

if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("esfera")

should be:

if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("esfera"))

You have right closing parenthesis missing in your if conditions.

PS: You should really be using an IDE like Eclipse to write your code which will help you immensely to overcome these simple syntax errors.

I'm using NetBeans because that's what the professor recommends to use at the University. But I'm going to install it right now. Thanks again for the tip.

if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("esfera"){

You missed parenthesis:

if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("esfera")){

Same for

if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("cilindro") {

It should be

if (solidom.equalsIgnoreCase("cilindro")) {

you are missing the closed parenthesis at the end of the condition of the if statement on both of these lines.
