Hi Yadin,

You use true and false when you are using boolean variables.

I am not sure what you mean by "it".

== Returns true if the expression on the left evaluates to the same value as the expression on the right. != Returns true if the expression on the left does not evaluate to the same value as the expression on the right. < Returns true if the expression on the left evaluates to a value that is less than the value of the expression on the right. <= Returns true if the expression on the left evaluates to a value that is less than or equal to the expression on the right.

Returns true if the expression on the left evaluates to a value that is greater than the value of the expression on the right. = Returns true if the expression on the left evaluates to a value that is greater than or equal to the expression on the right.

In this sample uses boolean and true/false.

boolean user = true;

if ( user == true) {
System.out.println("it's true");
}
else {
System.out.println("it's false");
}

If you have other questions, please let me know.

Happy Coding,

Mark

Hi there! In an "OR" statement, if any one of the expressions is true the entire thing will evaluate to true. In an "AND" statement every one of the expressions must be true for the entire thing to evaluate to true.

Hope this helps!
