The static method **`compare`** of the Boolean class is used to compare two Boolean values. 

#     
## Syntax 

```java
public static int compare(boolean x, boolean y);
```

## Return value

The `compare` method returns:

* `0` if both the values are the same. 
* A value less than `0` if `x` is `false` and `y` is `true`.

* A value greater than `0` if `x` is `true` and `y` is `false`.

Boolean.compare(x,y)

class BooleanCompare {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        System.out.println("true, true : " +  Boolean.compare(true, true));
        System.out.println("false, false : " +  Boolean.compare(false, false));
        System.out.println("true, false : " +  Boolean.compare(true, false));
        System.out.println("false, true : " +  Boolean.compare(false, true));
    }
}

#      
## Explanation 

In the code above, we use the `Boolean.compare` method to compare Boolean values and check all the combinations of Boolean values.

X	Y	Return Value
true	true	0
false	false	0
true	false	> 0
false	true	< 0
