java-programmer, Can't compile simple Java code 1 class DecimalToBinary{
2 public static void main(String[] y){
3 int dec = new Integer(y[0]).intValue();
4 if (dec/32 = 0)
5 System.out.println(0 + (dec % 32) / 16);
6 else System.out.println(1);


}}

When I try to compile the above code I get an error on line 4:

Error: unexpected type
required: variable
found : value


What is wrong??

use c.l.j.help for this sort of thing please.

You need to use == instead of = on line 4. "==" compares and "=" assigns.

You're trying to assign the value 0 to the expression dec/32, which
is also a value. That's not possible. You probably meant
"dec/32 == 0" (a comparison), not "dec/32 = 0" (an assignment).
