Java: bool + int

Question

Is there a way to make Java work with boolean/integer addition and evaluation? More specificly, C++ has an appropriate feature which shortens many if statements.

Answer 1

You can use ternary operator in Java for the same effect.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 5, y = 10, count = 0;
        count += x == y ? 1 : 0;
        System.out.println(count);

        x = 10;
        count += x == y ? 1 : 0;
        System.out.println(count);
    }
}

Output:

0
1
