int and boolean error

Question

I have a method that generates and error that a int was expected but found boolean but when I switch it to a boolean it says the same error but reverse int and boolean. Here is my code:

private void compileDeclaration(boolean isGlobal) {
         if (equals(theToken, "int")) {
            accept("int");
            String ident = theToken;
            if (!isIdent(theToken)) t.error("expected identifier, got " + theToken);
            else if (isGlobal){
                symTable.allocVar(ident, isGlobal);
            }

            if (!isGlobal) cs.emit(Machine.ALLOC, symTable.stackFrameSize());
            //dprint("declaring int " + ident);
            theToken = t.token();
            accept (";");
        } else if (equals (theToken, "final")) {
            accept("final");
            accept("int");
            String ident = theToken;
            if (!isIdent(theToken)) t.error("expected identifier, got " + theToken);
            theToken = t.token();
            accept("=");
            int numvalue = new Integer(theToken).intValue();
            if (!isNumber(theToken)) t.error("expected number, got " + theToken);
            else if (numvalue = 0) { **//This is where it highlights my error**
                symTable.allocConst(ident, numvalue);
            }

Any help would be most appreciated.

Answer 1

Most likely you're calling it in two different places, once with an integer and once with a boolean.

Either that or symTable.allocVar() expects an int.

Answer 2

The line

else if (numvalue = 0) { **//This is where it highlights my error**

is missing an equals symbol, i.e.

else if (numvalue == 0) { **//This is where it highlights my error**
