    Exclamation Boolean errors in Compiler!

    Right basically I'm creating a program to ascertain whether the 3 sides of a triangle A,B,C input by the user make an Isosceles, Equilateral or Scalene triangle!

    I've made a class and an app but am having disticnt trouble with the boolean operators! Please help me ASAP as I have to hand this in for uni tomorrow, if someone manages it I may reward you via Paypal!!

    Heres my code:

    class TriangleRecognition {

    //-------------------FIELDS----------------------

    private int a_value, b_value, c_value;

    //-------------------CONSTRUCTORS----------------

    public TriangleRecognition(int a_intInput, int b_intInput, int c_intInput) {
    a_value = a_intInput;
    b_value = b_intInput;
    c_value = c_intInput;
    }

    //------------------METHODS----------------------

    /* Resolve whether triangle is Equilateral, Isosceles or Scalene. */

    public boolean resolveTriangleRecognition() {

    if ((a_value) == (b_value) == (c_value)) ;
    return(true);
    if ((a_value) == (b_value) != (c_value)) ;
    return(true);
    if ((a_value) != (b_value) != (c_value)) ;
    return(true);

    }
    }



    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    import java.io.*;

    class TriangleRecognitionApp {

    //---------------FIELDS----------------

    // Create BufferedReader class instance

    public static BufferedReader keyboardInput =
    new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    private Triangle

    //--------------METHODS-----------------

    /* Main method */

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    int newA_value, newB_value, newC_value;


    //INPUT

    System.out.print("Input side A:");
    newA_value = new Integer.parseInt(keyboardInput.readLine());

    System.out.print("Input side B:");
    newB_value = new Integer.parseInt(keyboardInput.readLine());

    System.out.print("Input side C:");
    newC_value = new Integer.parseInt(keyboardInput.readLine());


    //OUTPUT

    if ((newA_value) == (newB_value) == (newC_value)) {
    triangle = "Equilateral";
    } else if ((newA_value) == (newB_value) != (newC_value)) {
    triangle = "Isoceles";
    } else if ((newA_value) != (newB_value) != (newC_value)) {
    triangle = "Scalene";
    } else {
    triangle = "Error";
    }
    System.out.println("Equilateral");
    System.out.println("Isosceles");
    System.out.println("Scalene");
    }
    }

    Please help ASAP!!!

    Well if i were you i wouldn't be using a boolean function ("it's offer 2 option");
    at String function would do more good in your case i think
    annway here's what i got for you
    but you need to work on the rest of it
    because i juste did it for the Equilateral case.
    import java.io.*;


    class TriangleRecognition {

    //-------------------FIELDS----------------------

    private int a_value, b_value, c_value;

    //-------------------CONSTRUCTORS----------------

    public TriangleRecognition(int a_intInput, int b_intInput, int c_intInput) {
    a_value = a_intInput;
    b_value = b_intInput;
    c_value = c_intInput;
    }

    //------------------METHODS----------------------

    /* Resolve whether triangle is Equilateral, Isosceles or Scalene. */

    public boolean resolveTriangleRecognition() {

    if (((a_value) == (b_value))&&((a_value) == (c_value))&&((b_value==(c_value)))){
    return(true);
    }

    else return(false);




    }
    public String checkitout(boolean a){

    if(a==true){
    return "Your triangle is Equilateral";
    }
    else return "Your triangle is not Equilateral";
    }

    }


    class TriangleRecognitionApp {

    //---------------FIELDS----------------

    // Create BufferedReader class instance

    public static BufferedReader keyboardInput =
    new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    //private Triangle;

    //--------------METHODS-----------------

    /* Main method */

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    TriangleRecognition tria=new TriangleRecognition(
    Integer.parseInt(keyboardInput.readLine()),
    Integer.parseInt(keyboardInput.readLine()),
    Integer.parseInt(keyboardInput.readLine()));
    System.out.println(tria.checkitout(tria.resolveTriangleRecognition()));





    }

    }
    good luck
