i have a small error but i can't figure out what is wrong [code provided]

[blueduiker]

So I am making a class and I can't figure out why there is an error.
The error is on the conditional of the last if statement.
Eclipse is telling me this:

The operator && is undefined for the argument type(s) int, boolean

	public static int search(int[] searchThisArray, int keyValue){
		int negative1 = -1;
		for (int i = 0; i < searchThisArray.length; i++){
			if (searchThisArray[i] == keyValue){
				return i; 
				break;
				//Will this break out of the for loop or only the if statement?????????????????????????????????
			}
			if ((i = ((searchThisArray.length) - 1)) && (searchThisArray[i] != keyValue))
				return negative1;
		}
	}

there is also a question inside of my code as well in the form of a comment
all help is greatly appreciated :]

Use == to compare, and = to assign:

if ((i == ((searchThisArray.length) - 1)) // etc

To see what "break" does read the fine tutorial. Or just write some code to experiment.

Post again if you get truly stuck, but the answer is on that page. (note that the labelled break statements mentioned are something to use sparingly.)
