How to retrieve String value as a condition for if statment in java?

Question

I tried to do something like this but becasue getCondition will return me a string value the If statment throws error because it expect to have a boolean value.. is there is any way to retrieve and execute the String inside the if statment?

Private String condition = "age < 18";
String getCondition(){return this.condition;}

if(getCondition())
{....}

You would need to use some scripting engine. – Henry Sep 14 '16 at 10:34 — Henry, Sep 14 '16 at 10:34

Have you tried looking here
