Hey guys i guess i should show you my code and tell you want I'm having trouble with:

IE : I'm making poker:

 int returnHandValue(){
        
        if (RoyalFlush() == true){
            System.out.println("RoyalFlush");
            return 9;
        }else if (StraightFlush() == true){
            System.out.println("StraightFlush");
            return 8;
        }else if (FourKind() == true){
            System.out.println("Four Kind");
            return 7;
        }else if (FullHouse() == true){
            System.out.println("Full house");
            return 6;
        }else if (Flush() == true){
            System.out.println("Flush");
            return 5;
        }else if (Straight() == true){
            System.out.println("Straight");
            return 4;
        }else if (Triples() == true){
            System.out.println("Triples");
            return 3;
        }else if (TwoPair()== true){
            System.out.println("TwoPair");
            return 2;
        }else if (Pair() == true){
            System.out.println("Pair");
            return 1;
        }else{
            System.out.println("Nothing");
            return 0;
            
        }
        
    }

EDIT: Inserted code tags, PennyBoki. Please in future. Thanks.

So we got this method and it will return a value to another part of my code and is all i want the return value to do is load into an array when it returns. Lets say my array is called handValues[i] how do i make handValues[i] become the value of return??


Hope you understand what I'm talking about

Thanks Brad.

If I understand what you are asking...

handValues[i] = returnHandValue();

Also you can simplify all those ifs eg

 if (RoyalFlush() == true){
..

could be just

 if (RoyalFlush()){

since (I guess) RoyalFlush() returns a boolean.
BTW only classes and interfaces start with capital letters - so the methods should be named
royalFlush()
and so on.

Thanks for the help guys!!!

Mercia the simplifying was much help. Im still having trouble with the array but ill work it out. I think i may have my methods in the wrong class or something like that
