Ternary operator expressions are not statements: you can’t use them on their own as a replacement for an if<\/code>.<\/p>\n

You should write<\/p>\n

if (unprocessed_information.contains(\"type:\")) {\n    ( unprocessed_information.replace(\"type:\",\"\").equals(\"teacher\") ) ? (admin_accounts.add(username)) : (null);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
as:<\/p>\n
if (unprocessed_information.contains(\"type:\")) {\n    if (unprocessed_information.replace(\"type:\",\"\").equals(\"teacher\")) admin_accounts.add(username);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
or (better, since there is nothing in the first if<\/code> but the second if<\/code>):<\/p>\n
if (    unprocessed_information.contains(\"type:\")\n     && unprocessed_information.replace(\"type:\",\"\").equals(\"teacher\") ) {\n    admin_accounts.add(username);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
or (IMHO even better, as it is way<\/em> clearer):<\/p>\n
if (   unprocessed_information.equals(\"type:teacher\")\n    || unprocessed_information.equals(\"ttype:eacher\") \n    || unprocessed_information.equals(\"tetype:acher\") \n    || unprocessed_information.equals(\"teatype:cher\") \n    || unprocessed_information.equals(\"teactype:her\") \n    || unprocessed_information.equals(\"teachtype:er\") \n    || unprocessed_information.equals(\"teachetype:r\") \n    || unprocessed_information.equals(\"teachertype:\") ) {\n    admin_accounts.add(username);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
