title: Assign variable in Java while-loop conditional?
body: <p>I have a method that does a lot of checking and computation and returns a custom class, returnMessage. returnMessage has 2 booleans and a String. What I want to do is run this method in a while loop from my main class and have access to the returnMessage object after the while loop terminates for the last time. </p>
  
  <p>In php this would be a case of </p>
  
  <pre><code>while ( $returned = myObject-&gt;myMethod()-&gt;finished )
  {
  
  }
  
  if( $returned -&gt; finished == FALSE)
  {
  ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However trying to assign like this gives me a boolean expected error in java (there might be php errors in the above, it's late :D )  </p>
