Can you declare/initialize a bool with an if statement?

Instead of writing:

bool test;
if (test!=true){
    //actions;
}
else{
    //more actions'
}

Is there anyway to write it in a little more complex but more effective way something like this (although this doesn't work) it shows what I am trying to do at least.

bool test(){
   if (some other variable = 5 / true / false etc){
       return true;
   }
   else{
       return false;
   }
}

Or must I initialize the bool every single time first?

Neither of those examples make much sense, especially the second one.
Maybe it's just cause I'm a silly goose, but we could help more if you had a specific example in which you would need to implement whatever it is you're looking for.
