Java while loop boolean evaluation -

i not sure if understand loop

boolean b = false; while(!b) { system.out.println(b); b = !b; } 

it returns false, loop executed once

but while(!b) set b= true ? !b = !false , b printed out?

the while (!b) condition not set b true.

the b = !b statement does.

that's why loop executes once.

---

translation in pseudo-code:

• while not b (that is, while b false)
• print b (so print false)
• assign b not b, is, opposite of b (so assign b true)
• next iteration of loop, b true, not b condition fails , loop terminates
