I think you are writing in some other shell.

Could you share your screenshot?

Hi Sir…

the scond image is after entering spark-shell

Thanks

The bracket should be after if not before if.

[sandeepgiri]

scala> def age (x:Int):Int = {if (x> 18) x else 0}
def age(x: Int): Int

scala> age(10)
val res0: Int = 0

scala> age(20)
val res1: Int = 20
