Can you set x == y equal to a Boolean in any any programming languages where x and y are of the same primitive type?

Question

This may be an odd question, and generally I would just go test it, but I'm not near a computer with any IDEs, but can you set a Boolean equal to the expression x==y? The only reason I ask this is because in an if statement you can say... if(x==y) which is asking if the two are equal then do.... And if that is true then the statement x == y is evaluating to true can you set a variable to it

Answer 1

Yes you can, in Java you can do:

boolean z = (x==y);
