Beginner Problem
Hi. I've just started learning java. Tried compiling and got this error "bad operand types for binary operator || "
here's my code:
if ((height = 0) || (width = 0)) {
System.out.println("Invalid values");
}
else {
System.out.println("Rectangle of width"+ width + "and height" + height + "is created");
}
Can't seem to figure out what's wrong.

Re: Beginner Problem
bad operand types for binary operatorThe above is an assignment (=) statement that returns whatever type height is. For example int(height = 0)
The || operator requires boolean not int.
Hint: the == operator returns a boolean.
