I can't figure out why this is always returning false...
    private boolean atBankPosition()
    {
        Position pos = new Position(3185, 3444, 0);
        if (myPosition() == pos) return true; else return false;
    }

 

Any help?

This is actually the wrong section for this.

You can't compare 2 objects using ==, you should use .equals().

   private boolean atBankPosition() {
        Position pos = new Position(3185, 3444, 0);
        return pos.equals(myPosition());
    }

Use equals() and not ==, that is

 if (myPosition()equals(pos)) return true; else return false;

This is because == checks if two objects ARE THE SAME IN MEMORY, which they are not.

equals(), if coded properly, checks the values of the objects and that is what you need

I understand now, I can use " pos.equals(myPosition()); " as a bool, which is exactly what I needed.
Thank you.

Maybe it’s good to go for a basic java course, this should be basic knowledge .
