How do I use an int variable as a boolean.

Code:

private int choose;

System.out.println("Do you wish to apply for the loan \n1 Yes n\2 No");
choose = scanner.nextInt();

if (choose = 1)
   System.out.println("You have applied for the loan");
else
   System.out.println("Your application have been cancelled.");

You must use double equal sign, else you are overwriting your value immediately.
So change line 6 to:

Code:

if (choose == 1)

This code is more readable:

Code:

boolean isApplyingForLoan = (choose == 1); if (isApplyingForLoan)
