constructors

[sonu shawnee]

this bit of code produces no output, somebody please explain me why,
public class inter1{
public static void main(String argv[]){
inter1 mi = new inter1();
}
inter1(){
boolean b=true;
if(b=false){
System.out.println("The value of b is"+b);
}
}
}

When you say if(b=false), you are assigning false to b, thus the condition is not met and no output. To get output, either do if(b) or if(b=true). You are assigning true to b once again in the second case.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Tony,
I overlooked that part entirely.

Try this
public class inter1{
public static void main(String argv[]){
inter1 mi = new inter1();
}
inter1(){
boolean b=true;
if(b!=false){ // Changed Here
System.out.println("The value of b is"+b);
}
}
}

This will work and this further clarifies things
