    Default Incompatible Types

    Hello! I'm creating something sort of like a turn-based battle system to sharpen my Java skills, but I'm getting this error on lines 40 and 44, and I'm not exactly sure why. Here's my code:

    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.Random;
    class TBBS
    {
    	public static void main(String[]args)
    	{
    	    int attackbonus, defensebonus, hpbonus, enemyhp, enemyattack, enemydefense, hp, attack, defense, level, s1;
    		String select, s;
    		enemyhp=5;
    		enemyattack=1;
    		enemydefense=0;
    		hp=10;
    		attack=2;
    		defense=0;
    		level=1;
     
    		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to the battle system!", "Welcome!", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    		Options(s);
     
    	}	
     
    	static void Options(String s)
    	{
    	  Object[] possibility = {"Attack", "Defend"};
    		s = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What do you want to do?", "Action Commands", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,
    		null, possibility, "");
     
    	}
       static void levelup(String b, int level)
    	{
    		int attack, defense, hp, s1;
    		level=(level+1);
    		Object[] levelup = {"Attack", "Defense", "HP"};
    		b = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "You've grown to level " + level + "! Which stat do you want to increase?", "Level Up!", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,
    		null, levelup, "");
     
    		s1=Integer.parseInt(b);
     
    		if (s1=1)
    		{
    			attack=(attack+1);
    		}	
    		else if (s1=2)
    		{
    			defense=(defense+1);
    		}
    		else
    		{
    			hp=(hp+5);
    		}		
    	}
    }

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    A typical single equals-sign (=) is used for declaring variables. The return-statement of inx x = y (which is basically what s1 = 1 means) isnt a boolean value which is needed for the if-statement.

    Try s1 == 1 instead, just add another equals sign and give it a go.

    Oh, wow. I can't believe I forgot that. Thanks!

    Also, I'm sorry I didn't put the error message in the post; I put it in the title instead, but I will change this when posting future errors.
