if (maxValue = 100)
    System.out.println ("Your limit has been reached");
?
Why is the above if statement illegal? How would you fix it?

What will be an ideal response?


A common programming error occurs when a programmer uses a single equal sign rather than a double equal sign when attempting to determine equivalency. The expressionmaxValue = 100does not comparemaxValueto 100. Instead, it attempts to assign the value 100 tomaxValue. When the expressionmaxValue = 100is used in theifstatement, the assignment is illegal because only Boolean expressions are allowed.?Then,ifstatement should be written as:
if(maxValue == 100)
   System.out.println("Your limit has been reached");
