[JAVA] Easiest way to take ‘Y’ or ‘N’ as scanner inputs for boolean ?

Question

Hi.

I have a boolean scanner I’d like to take input as ‘Y’ for true and ‘N’ for false.

Whats the best way to do this?

Answer 1

//Here you go, it accepts upper and lower case character of Y theres no need for N because if no Y it's always N 👍

Answer 2

What behaviour should your program exhibit if the input is neither Y nor N?

Answer 3

thanks bro D_Stark :)

Answer 4

I say take the input as char, then use a simple switch case to return a Boolean

Answer 5

unfortunately I can only use a predefined boolean attribute. Would it still work?

Answer 6

You cant input "Y" and expect the scanner to store true and assign it to as a boolean you need some conditional statements.

//I think this will work let me test it my self as I just wrote it...

Boolean sc = new Scanner(System.in).nextLine().equals("Y")?true:false;
