In the class Tutorial6 we have the code of the example of the video tutorial so you can play with it.

    package com.edu4java.tutorial6;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Tutorial6 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.print("scan age:");
		int age = scanner.nextInt();
//		boolean canDrink=(age>=18)&&(age<=60);
		boolean canNotDrink=(age<18)||(age>60);
		if (canNotDrink) {
			System.out.println(" can´t drink");
		} else {
			System.out.println("can drink");
		}
		System.out.print("print age: ");
		System.out.println(age);
	}
