So I’ve got this simple code in C.
if (flags & 4)
Now when I port the line to java:
if ((flags & 4) == 1)
It doesn’t trigger. Whats the correct way to port the C code to Java? What am I doing wrong with the & operator?
It should be
!= 0rather than== 1:The reason for this is that in C anything that is not zero is considered
truein anifstatement, while Java forces you to use Booleans. In this case, the expression can evaluate either to 4 or to 0, so comparing it with 1 is always false.
