If condition Error on compiling - Specific question

Question

I am trying to detect if the variables f1 and f2 have the letter v or b and then check if both words have the same length. I do not know why but when I run this code says that there are three errors on my if condition

    Scanner ask = new Scanner(System.in);
    String f1 = (ask.nextLine()).toLowerCase();
    String f2 = (ask.nextLine()).toLowerCase();
    boolean yes  = false;
    
    if((f1.indexOf("v") > -1 || f1.indexOf("b")) and (f2.indexOf("v") > -1 || f2.indexOf("b")) and (f1.length() == f2.length() )){
        yes = true;
    }

The logical "and" operator in Java is && , not the word and :

if ((f1.indexOf("v") > -1 || f1.indexOf("b")) && 
    (f2.indexOf("v") > -1 || f2.indexOf("b")) &&
    (f1.length() == f2.length())) {
