Question

Is it possible to make a boolean if statement, that says if (a method that has a void data type) = true { then do the following?

or would the method need to be a boolean as well?

Answer 1

The if-expression has to have boolean type. If it is just a call, you need to call a method that returns boolean. If you are comparing to true, generally a waste of time, you also need a boolean expression.

What are you trying to test? If you just want to find out if it completes without an exception, you can use:

try{
  method call
  code to execute if it does not throw an exception
} catch(ExceptionYouExpectItToThrow e) {
  code to execute if it does throw the exception
}

If you are trying to test something else about the method’s execution, you need to specify what you are testing.
