Script for true or false answer?

Question

Hi!I'm trying to get a field to print a true or false answer. The field is supposed to get data from another field (which is a summary field) and state if its 65 or above and then print if it is or not. I have tried the following script but cannot get it to work.{if (this.getField(” Summa ATS 1”) == 65 = true);if (this.getField(” Summa ATS 1”) < 65 = true);if (this.getField(” Summa ATS 1”) > 65 = false);{if (true) System.out.println(" True ");if (false) System.out.println(" False ");}How can I get this to work?

There are several major mistakes in your code.

First of all, the "=" operator is used for assigning a value, not for comparisons.

Also, you should not use curly quotes in your code. Only straight ones (single or double, doesn't matter).

In addition, you should not put a semi-colon after an if-statement. It basically renders it useless. It should be followed either by a single line of code or by a block of code, surrounded by curly brackets, which are executed when that expression is true.

You should also be aware that any logical operator will always return a Boolean value, that is either true or false, so there's no need to add an additional check to check if it's true...

This line:

if ((a==b)==true)

Is identical to this line:

if (a==b)

PS. Just noticed another problem. You're only accessing the fields themselves, not their values...
