Why the ! Symbol cannot or is not used in the system.out.println("") when NOT operator is taking place at the if statement.

Question

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int age = 25;
if(!(age > 18)) {
System.out.println("Too Young");
} else {
System.out.println("Welcome");
}
}
}

I am asking the question that, whether we should not use ! Symbol inside println statement as "Welcome!"

Answer 1

if the '!' is inside the "" it's treated like a String and not like the not-operator ...
so yeah you can do that 😄

Answer 2

they don't cover everything in the tutorial aspecially obvious things ...
a String can contain any character, a q, a ! and even a 🙂

Answer 3

Sololearn itself is not clear about that..i think so..anyhow thanks!

Answer 4

I don't get your question
,but you can replace '!(age > 18)' with 'age <= 18'

Answer 5

But if u check in the java tutorial topic and in conditions and loops and inside that logical operators and find NOT operator, they've not used ! Symbol inside the println statement. Why is it so
