Question

I need to set a variable false, If the string starts with ‘1’, but following code returns me a true value? i tried the word “apple”. Is there any problem with my code?

String msgName=request.getParameter("msgName");
boolean insideIf=false; 

if(msgName.substring(0,1).equals("1"));
    {
        insideIf=true;
                System.out.println("if status :"+msgName.substring(0,1).equals("1"));

    } System.out.println("insideIf :"+insideIf);

It is 🙂
You’ve got a semicolon after your if

String msgName=request.getParameter("msgName");
boolean insideIf=false; 

if(msgName.substring(0,1).equals("1"))
    {
        insideIf=true;
                System.out.println("if status :"+msgName.substring(0,1).equals("1"));

    } System.out.println("insideIf :"+insideIf);
