How to use this boolean in an if statement?

Question

private String getWhoozitYs(){
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    boolean stop = generator.nextBoolean();
    if(stop = true)
    {
        sb.append(\"y\         


        

Answer 1

if(stop == true)

or

if(stop)

= is for assignment.

== is for checking condition.

if(stop = true) 

It will assign true to stop and evaluates if(true). So it will always execute the code inside if because stop will always being assigned with true.
