    Default Java operaton on boolean varibles

    hello all i am finishing up a tic tac toe game but i have a question about Boolean vs int. my question is what do i do if i need to use symbols such as <>||=&& with boolean. here is a fragment of what i am working on to give you an idea of what im trying to do

    public boolean checkValid()
        {
            boolean col;
            boolean row;
        if(row<0||row>2)
            return true;
     
        }

    any help and suggestions are always appreciated

    Boolean values can only hold true or false! So you cannot use<> operators, you can use the others though.

    You guys were up early this morning!!

    You could do it like this big_c:

    public class CheckMove {
     
        public static int row;
        public static boolean isValid;
     
        public static void CheckMyMove() {
     
            if (row < 0 || row > 2) {
                isValid = true;
            } else
                isValid = false;
     
        }
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            CheckMove cm = new CheckMove();
            cm.CheckMyMove();
     
            System.out.println(isValid);
     
        }
     
    }
