Declare INTEGER expecting/requiring BOOLEAN

[mine0926]

Hi,
So this is my first post. I am studied java 2yrs ago so now I am "back to basic". This is actually a begginer question.
I might use non technical terms in java or in programming language.
I declare an int called LoginAttempt, i put it inside class frmLogin so that it will not reset whenever I click the Login button and also I want to add 1 everytime the user click the Login button.
That part was fine but when i use IF the netbeans return an error message telling that it required boolean.
Please see the code.

    int LoginAttempt = 0; 
    private void cmdLoginMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) { 
        LoginAttempt = LoginAttempt + 1; 
        if (LoginAttempt = 4) { 
            jLabel1.setText("NO"); 
        } 
    }

Thanks in advance
geje

= does not mean the same thing as ==.
You used = where you wanted to use == instead in (LoginAttempt = 4).

in my old programming language I use "=" and forgot that java uses "=="
Thanks for your reply. :)

Also consider LoginAttempt += 1 or LoginAttempt++.
