Thread: Java enquiry!!

for(int i=0;i<20;i++){
if(i>randomPosition -4 && i<randomPosition +4 && i!=randomPosition) i don't understand this part. Especially when i change to != to ==, the code will run wrongly, isn't both of their the same operator?

System.out.print(" 0 ");
else System.out.print(a[i] +" ");
}
}


This will generate array with the left and right value reset to 0 so let say the random position is 5
the output will be 4 2 0 0 0 6 0 0 0

can anyone explain? Thanks.

Please post your code correctly using code or highlight tags which are explained near the top of this link.

No, the two operators are not the same. Refer to Java operators.

Thanks for replying. I had checked the java operator and they're the same?

quote from java website link you posted
equality == and !=

So if you look at that table and see the entry:

Additive: + -

That means that the operators + and - are the same? You know better, right? Can you apply that same knowledge or pattern recognition and determine the difference between == and !=?
