Hey All.
Probably a silly question, but I'm trying to teach myself
Java 2. Using the "Beginners Guide Second Edition" by Herbert Schildt.
I have written and compiled the program you see as follows (Boolean truth table):
// Project 2-2: a truth table for the logical operators.
class LogicalOpTable
{
public static void main (
String args[])
{
boolean p, q;
System.out.println("P\tQ\tAND\tOR\tXOR\tNOT");
p = true;
q = true;
System.out.print(p + "\t" + q +"\t");
System.out.print((p&q) + "\t" + (p|q) + "\t");
System.out.println((p^q) + "\t" + (!p));
p = true;
q = false;
System.out.print(p + "\t" + q + "\t");
System.out.print((p&q) + "\t" + (p|q) + "\t");
System.out.println((p^q) + "\t" + (!p));
p = false;
q = false;
System.out.print(p + "\t" + q + "\t");
System.out.print((p&q) + "\t" + (p|q) + "\t");
System.out.println((p^q) + "\t" + (!p));
p = false;
q = true;
System.out.print(p + "\t" + q + "\t");
System.out.print((p&q) + "\t" + (p|q) + "\t");
System.out.println((p^q) + "\t" + (!p));
}
}
The exercise after this states: "Try modifying the program so that it uses and displays 1's and 0's, rather than true and false." In the know that I cannot "cast" a boolean value, and that the operators are not the same for int or byte types, can you suggest a solution for me? There is no answer to this in the book or on the supporting web site.
Thanks Guys.
Cheers.
