Syntax error How to determine whether the JSlider is currently snapping to tick marks in Java?

How to determine whether the JSlider is currently snapping to tick marks in Java?

At first, we will create a slider and set it to snap to tick marks:

JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 40);
slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10);
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
slider.setPaintTicks(true);
slider.setPaintLabels(true);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);

After that, we will check whether the slider is currently snapping to tick marks. The result would be displayed in the TRUE/FALSE boolean

slider.getSnapToTicks()

Display the result in the Console as shown below:

System.out.println("Snapping to tick marks? = "+slider.getSnapToTicks());

The following is an example to determine whether the slider is currently snapping to tick marks:

Example

package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JSlider;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame with Slider");
      JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 40);
      slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10);
      slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
      slider.setPaintTicks(true);
      slider.setPaintLabels(true);
      slider.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
      slider.setForeground(Color.black);
      slider.setSnapToTicks(true);
      System.out.println("Snapping to tick marks? = "+slider.getSnapToTicks());
      Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 13);
      slider.setFont(font);
      JPanel panel = new JPanel();
      panel.add(slider);
      frame.add(panel);
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.setSize(600, 300);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }
}

Output

The console would display whether the Slider is snapping to tick marks or not:
