Is there an easy way to set boolean to true if a condition is met?

Question

I'm done with this assignment, but I was wondering if there was a simpler way to achieve the same thing these code segments do?

public boolean noSolution ()
  {
     if (disc < 0)
        return true;
  }

public boolean equalRoots ()
  {
     if (disc = 0)
        return true;
  }

Your code won't compile as there is possibility for the methods not returning any value, and this is not allowed. This will: `return disc < 0` — DontKnowMuchBut Getting Better, Nov 01 '18 at 17:06
noSolution: `return disc < 0;` and equalRoots: `return disc == 0;` (disc = 0 is an assignment) — Modus Tollens, Nov 01 '18 at 17:07

Do you mean?

public boolean noSolution() {
    return disc < 0;
}

You can just return the result of a Boolean expression.
