(Java)

Consider the following if statement, where doesSignificantWork, makesBreakthrough, and nobelPrizeCandidate are all boolean variables:

if (doesSignificantWork) {

if (makesBreakthrough)

nobelPrizeCandidate = true;

else nobelPrizeCandidate = false;

}

else if (!doesSignificantWork)

nobelPrizeCandidate = false;

First, write a simpler if statement that is equivalent to this one. Then write a single assignment statement that does the same thing.

You can start by examining program logic with assigning Boolean variables either true or false values like that:

boolean doesSignificantWork = false;

THE BELOW IS THE SIMPLER STATEMENT WITH ONLY ONE IF/ELSE STATEMENT

if(doesSignificantWork && makesBreakthrough){

nobelPrizeCandidate = true;

}

else{

nobelPrizeCandidate = false;

}

THE BELOW IS THE SINGLE ASSIGNMENT STATEMENT

nobelPrizeCandidate = (doesSignificantWork && makesBreakthrough) ? true : false;
