How to declare a boolean and use a method JAVA help!?

• Hi, I want to know how do i declare a field as a boolean type in the class and set it to "false" in the constructor... also, for a method, how would i change this value from 'true' to 'false' please help, im new to java..thank you in advance!

• Answer:

  class BooleanTest { boolean isActive; public BooleanTest() { isActive = false; } // this will flip a boolean like a light switch public void switch() { isActive = !isActive; } public void setBoolean( boolean b ) { isActive = b; }
