Puzzle 16 – Solution

The key to today’s solution is ‘boolean assignment’.

In Java, unlike C/C++ an if statement can only take a boolean condition. However the assignment operator ‘=’ can be used to assign a boolean value inside an if. Thus the statements,

boolean bool;
if (bool = true){
 System.out.println("Worked!");
}

is legal and evaluates to true inside the if statement.
