How can I convert a String into boolean?
I am facing difficulty in converting String into boolean.
For example, I have a few variable which i need user to input yes or no as the answer. But I uses string instead. Is there a way which i can ask them to input boolean directly?
Please advise...
credit = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Yes or No for Credit Satisfactory : ");
System.out.println("The answer for Credit Satisfactory : "+credit);
e_invtry=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Yes or No for inventry level");
System.out.println("The answer for Quantity Order : "+e_invtry);

int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Is credit satisfactory?", "Credit satisfactory?", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
boolean yes = answer == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION;

No, user input is always a String (through the console or text-boxes, that is). You can parse the String to a primitive using their wrapper class, or you can use a simple for statement to compare the String to some other String:
if("y".equalsIgnoreCase(userInput)) {
// ...
}
Edit: didn't even look at the unformatted code, but when using Dialog-boxes, then do as dwg suggested.

I guess you meant if statement.

Thanks...but I don't get it....I tried to use your suggestion but i got the message that " cannot find symbol method showConfirmDialog(java.lang.String,int)" ?
Please advise.
The code I use was :
int credit = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog("Enter Yes or No for credit satisfactory", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);

Well that was not the example I gave you.
JOptionPane has no method showConfirmDialog that receives a String and an int (exactly what the error message is telling you).
What was wrong with the version I showed you?

Ever heard of copy and paste?
