A good answer might be:

No. The programmer probably wants the three statements after the else to be part of a false block, but has not used braces to show this.

Only One Statement per Branch

The false block was not put inside braces: 

    if ( num < 0 )
        System.out.println("The number " + num + " is negative");   
    else
        System.out.println("The number " + num + " is positive"); 
        System.out.print  ("positive numbers are greater ");   
        System.out.println("or equal to zero ");     
    System.out.println("Good-by for now");

Our human-friendly indenting shows what we want, but the compiler will merely look for braces. It will see the equivalent of: 

    if ( num < 0 )
        System.out.println("The number " + num + " is negative");  // true-branch
    else
        System.out.println("The number " + num + " is positive");  // false-branch
    System.out.print  ("positive numbers are greater ");           // always executed  
    System.out.println("or equal to zero ");                       // always executed
    System.out.println("Good-by for now");                         // always executed
