how can I simplify this expression

Question

if (this.skills[i].isBasic() == true)

how to simplify this expression ?

it is already returning boolean , why to compare it , use directly the result for condition — Hussain Akhtar Wahid 'Ghouri', Mar 08 '13 at 10:17
Why does this question gets downvoted? It is clearly formulated. Yes it is simple, but If you are on that level it is difficult to search for that kind of stuff. — Jens Schauder, Mar 08 '13 at 10:24

If this.skills[i].isBasic() returns boolean value, you can just

    if (skills[i].isBasic())
