Can anyone help me with this code

Question

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("main starts");
boolean boolval;

if(boolval=true){
System.out.println(boolval) ;
}
System.out.println(boolval);
}
}

I did not assign boolval to true,yet output shows true.how is this possible?

Answer 1

You need to use == to compare. Otherwise, it will set boolval to true.

Answer 2

Ajoh Pv You need to know the difference between = and ==

= is assignment operator
== equality check operator means comparison operator.

So boolval = true means you are assigning which will be true. That's why it's going in if statement and returns true.
