Hi guys
just want to know if there's anything wrong with this statement:

if ( (slot1.getIcon() == slot2.getIcon() ) && (slot1.getIcon() == slot3.getIcon() ) && (slot2.getIcon() == slot3.getIcon() ) )
......

i have a similar statement where i use '||' and it works fine.but this one doesn't.it doesn't produce an error it just ignores it
Any suggestions?

Are all three values identical?

[DamienCourt]

yes . it's part of a slot machine simulator. it's supposed to compare the images, which are displayed on each slot(i use JLabel to display them). If it's the same image in each slot then execute some code.

You could try this:

one=slot1.getIcon();two=slot2.getIcon();three=slot 3.getIcon();
if ((one==two)&&(two==three)&&(one==three))

The difference is that getIcon is only called once per slot.

it didn't work...thanks anyway i'll keep tryin

[wirehopper]

Might be a type issue.

What type does .getIcon return?

[DamienCourt]

i'm an idiot it had nothing to do with the syntax. I just should have placed the '&&' statement before the '||' one.It was such a bloody simple thing!!!!!
thanks for trying to help
