Question
I'm trying to call a boolean method in another class and Eclipse is reporting the above error on the second line in the following code:
CCR ccrFlags = new CCR();
if (ccrFlags.cBit() = set)
The method being called from the class called "CCR" is:
public boolean cBit() {
boolean set = false;
return set;
}
I imagine I'm probably going about this in an idiotic way and would be grateful for any advice. Thanks, Robert.
Solution
Comparison should use ==
(double-equal):
CCR ccrFlags = new CCR();
if (ccrFlags.cBit() == set)
OTHER TIPS
in an if, the condition has to be always true or false.
your error is, that = only assigns the values, but it is not a logical operation which can be true or false.
So you have to use == in conditions.
