If that's Java, its badly written. You need quotes around $$$ and also need more parenthesis around your initial if statement:

if ((youNeedAMachine) && (timeNeeded.equals("now"))) {
purchaseFromApple(machineWanted, "$$$");
}
else {
readMacRumors();
}
beHappy();

Keep in mind this is assuming $$$ is a string, and not a float...

Oops, I think I may have confused that with PHP... you do need 'em in there (I know this, because I had to research it a week ago for a friend asking me this exact question).

In college, my first semester of Java was 1.4.2, my second semester was 1.5, so it was a fun transition, when we had to stop using BufferedReader and start using Scanner, and our TA hadn't had java since 1.4, and thought all of our code was invalid.
