Boolean Expression

Quote:

class Ritz
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i=0;
int j=10;
System.out.println(i==j);
System.out.println(i!=j);
}
}

Why does this fragment result in 'false' and 'true'?
Why doesnt it display 0 and 1 as its a pure integer expression?

Because you are printing the result of comparing i with j, and the result will be boolean
If you want that it prints 1 or 0 you have to write it

Code:

---

int i=0;
int j=10;
If(i==j){System.out.println(1);}else {System.out.println(0);}

I know th use of 'if'. But the question is that

Code:

---

(i==j)

is a pure integer expression. Why does'nt it give an intger value???

i==j is a boolean expression, mary is right
