"I am getting an error code here."

And you didn't think we'd need to see the details of that error code?

Click the green "Improve question" link and update your question with a proper description of the problem. Include the full details of the error, and the declarations of the variables you're using.

As an additional observation, please note: Java string comparison should be performed using the equals[^] method, not the == operator. See, for instance, How do I compare strings in Java? - Stack Overflow[^].

It would be REALLY helpful if you provided the full code of the routine, the error received, what netbeans told you to do along with the result

Just to the naked eye with what you have

Java

if( (word1 != word2) && (word1 != word3) && (word 2 != word3) )
// look at the third comparison: "word 2"       ^^^

ALSO No definition seen for "outputString"
AND No closing "}" for the "then" portion of the statement
