if statements not working

[pizzadude223]

I'm trying to have an if statement control what is drawn with this code:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class DrawingLines extends Applet {

   int width, height;
   boolean wait = true;

   public void init() {
      width = getSize().width;
      height = getSize().height;
      setBackground( Color.black );
   }

   public void paint( Graphics g ) {
      g.setColor( Color.green );
      if (wait == true) {
          g.drawLine(10,10,40,40);
      }
      else {
          g.drawRect(20, 20, 100, 100);
      }
   }
}

I have no clue why it just keeps drawing a rectangle because I'm not changing the wait value from true and it would have to be false to make the rectangle. Is there something wrong with my if statement, or is there another way I should be doing this?

Your code posted above is in fact drawing a line, not a rectangle, so the only conclusion I can come up with is that the code you are running is not the code you are showing. Can happen.

When I run it, it doesn't draw a line, this is the exact code I have been using. try and compile and run it in an applet, you'll see it draws a rectangle that isn't filled in.

Never mind, now it seems to be working for some reason, maybe I never saved it.

As Fubarable says, your are ruining a different code and showing a different here. Code you've posted here not drawing a rectangle, just a line on top-left corner of the applet window.

Anyway, if you've solved the problem then please mark the thread as solved.

What surprises me is that the sudden change in behaviour doesn't surprise you. Computer science must be a bag of miracles for you ...
