Thread: Boolean return print

Hi,
I'm trying to do a boolean method

public boolean x()
   {
      if (y() >= z)
      {
         return true;
      }
      else
      {
         return false;
      }
   }

though I'm unsure how to send the print data out to:
I need it to print out YES if TRUE and NO if false.
How would I call the boolean x() method and test it for true and flase and print it?

public void f()
   {
      System.out.printf( "\nc:" + c );
//where would I write print in the boolean method? I thought these methods are just for returning true or false

Thanks for your help in advance

Is the method supposed to return a boolean or a String? (true/false) or ("YES"/"NO")
Is the method supposed to print something or return something to be printed? (edit) ...or both?

The method has to return true false.
Then that is to be checked and if true print Yes if false no.

Use the return value of method x() for the conditional in an if statement like you did in the body of the x() method. If x() returns true print one thing, else print something else.
It sure seems like this boolean method is unnecessary.
For example instead of the entire body of the x() method you could use the following line:
return y() >= z;
because the statement:
y() >= z
will evaluate to a boolean value and you can simply return it rather than saying if(true) { return true; } else { return false; }
That being the case you could replace the call to x() in the code with y() >= z and forget the method x() completely.
Anyway too many possibilities, and I am rambling at the wee hours of my morning. Someone will be happy to look over what you have if you want to post it.
