    Default Cant figure this out

    okay heres the question

    A method called printResult() that takes an integer representing the final score at a computer game, and a boolean indicating whether the player won or not. If the player won, the method should display the line:
    Player wins with <score> points. Otherwise it should display the line:
    Computer wins with <score> points. where <score> is the value of the integer parameter.

    and heres my code ive done so far

    String printResult(int score, boolean win) {
    if (win = true) {
    return "Player wins with" + score + "points.";
    }
    else {
    return "Computer wins with" + score + "points.";
    }
    }

    can you see why this is wrong?

    thanks

    Use the == operator for comparing two primitive values.

    Testing a boolean variable equal to true is redundant. The boolean variable itself has the value:
    if(aBooleanVar)
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
