Hello,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner.

The statement does not print because you have not reached that section of the
code. You did not supply a value for the ORDERTYPE property, so order is null.
Therefore, the code does not enter the if statement.

Can you continue to test later in the method and see if you can find where the
NullPointerException is occurring?

Thank you for your patience.
