Here is an interesting little language question:

Are the following two methods equivalent?

    String booleanString( boolean b ) {
        String s;
        if ( b ) {
            s = "true";
        } else {
            s = "false";
        }
        return s;
    }

And:

    String booleanString( boolean b ) {
        String s;
        if ( b ) s = "true";
        if ( !b ) s = "false";
        return s;
    }
