    Default How to invert?

    Hello all,
    My names Andrew! I am struggling with a Java problem!

    How do you invert true/false values?
    ie if a = true make a = false?

    Thanks!

    Default Re: How to invert?

    The '!' operator will shift booleans to their opposite value. for example
    if ( !false ) {
         //this will evaluate
    }
    if ( false ){
         //this will not evaluate
    }
    boolean a = true;
    if ( a ){
         //this will evaluate
    }
    a = !a;
    if ( a ){
        //this will not evaluate
    }
