In Java, can I use conditional expressions to “select” reference types?

Can I use conditional expressions to "select" reference types, as shown below?

??? = isTrue() ? Integer : Double;

What can I put in "??" Make code snippets editable?

Editor: when I write integer and double, I don't mean instances of integer or double I mean reference types integer and double

Solution

I think you are trying to use ternary Boolean operators to select the reference type of variables

This is not possible in Java because Java is statically typed - which means that each type is explicitly defined at compile time Your expression wants to run a method and determine reference types that are impossible at compile time based on its output
