ERROR: statement has no effect

Hi!
i really don't understand why this piece of code wont work:

bool b1,b2,b_closetag;
b1 = l_content.contains("</");
b2 = l_content.contains(">");
cout << "^^" << b1 << b2 << endl;
if (b1 == true && b2 == true)
{b_closetag == true;} //this line shows error
cout << b_closetag << endl;

and for the o/p it will print:

^^11
0

== is different from =.

[noisycoder]

if both b1 and b2 are true then b_closetag should be true, im comparing and not assigning so I should be using ==... right?

[noisycoder]

same error even if i try this:

if (l_content.contains("</") && l_content.contains(">"))
{b_closetag == true;}

[Chervil]

This is an error with the use of the operators = and ==.

= assignment operator
== 'is equal to' comparison operator

In the above code,
b_closetag == true;
should be
b_closetag = true;

oh! so sorry overlooked that..thanks!
