Illegal State of Expression Error

[Akshit dhar]

Why is the program showing illegal state of expression?

public class StrangeAdvertising {
    static int value= 2;
    public static void main(String... ar ){
        Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in);
        int limit = sc.nextInt();
        int startDay =2;
        
        Finder(startDay,limit);
    }

    public static void Finder(int startDay,int lim) {
        while(startDay < = lim){
            int val= (value*3)/2;
            value+=val;
            startDay++;
        }
    }
}

Please show us which line it is on. We can only help you if we know the full details.
I had to compile the code myself. Hint: operators shou‍ld usually be surrounded by spaces, but must not contain intervening spaces.

Thanks Campbell Ritchie. The space was giving the error.

That's a pleasure
