Type mismatch: cannot convert from int to boolean even though nothing is a boolean!

[AidoP]

I am getting an error here:

	public boolean getIsInAir(){
		int num = getY();
		if(num = world.getWorldHeight()){
			return false;
		}else{
			return true;
		}
	}

that is a type mismatch. world.getWorldHeight() returns an int.

Anything wrong with my code is usually to do with my selftaughtness(if thats a word :D).

In your logical if, try == instead of =

Thanks, I always forget about that. I feel dumb now.

no need to feel dumb, everybody has to learn.

Self-education ;)

Tip: turn the ordering around in the future.

public boolean getIsInAir(){
    int num = getY();
    if(world.getWorldHeight() = num){
        return false;
    }else{
        return true;
    }
}

see what (different) error this produces. Perhaps still not 100% logical at first glance, but it is slightly less confusing.
