Thread: setting a boolean in a field when being read from a file

Hello i need help i have to read in a file , but one of the tokens in the file is either yes or no depending on if the vehicle has air con or not.
how do i change the boolean field to true if it is yes and no to false ???.

public void readData(Scanner scanner)
{
group = scanner.next();
vehID = scanner.next();
regNo = scanner.next();
make = scanner.next();
model = scanner.next();
if(scanner.next().equals("yes"))
{
airCon = true; // where it has to be yes or no
}
engineSize = scanner.nextDouble();
fuelType = scanner.next();
gearbox = scanner.next();
transmission = scanner.next();
mileage = scanner.nextInt();
dateFirstRegistered = scanner.next();
}

import java.util.*;
public class Vehicle
{
    // instance variables - replace the example below with your own
    private String group,vehID, regNo, make,model,fuelType,gearbox,transmission,dateFirstRegistered;
    private boolean airCon;
    private double engineSize;
    private int mileage;
 
 
 
    /**
     * Constructor for objects of class Vehicle
     */
    public Vehicle()
    {
        // initialise instance variables
         group = null;
         vehID = null;
         regNo = null;
         make = null;
 
 
 
 
    }
 
    public String getGroup()
    {
        return group;
    }
 
    public String getVehicleID()
    {
       return vehID;
 
    }
 
    public String getRegestrationNumber()
    {
        return regNo;
    }
 
    public String getMakeOfVehicle()
    {
        return make;
 
    }
 
    public void displayDetails()
    {
        System.out.println(make + model  + " Group: " + group + " Vehicle ID: " + vehID);
        System.out.println(" Air Conditioning or Climate Control : " + airCon);
        System.out.println(" Engine Size : " + engineSize  + " Fuel : " + fuelType);
        System.out.println(" Gearbox : " + gearbox + " Transmission : " + transmission);
        System.out.println(" Mileage : " + mileage + " Date First Registered : " + dateFirstRegistered);
 
 
    }
 
    public void readData(Scanner scanner)
    {
        group = scanner.next();
        vehID = scanner.next();
        regNo = scanner.next();
        make = scanner.next();
        model = scanner.next();
        String yes = scanner.next();
         System.out.println(yes);
        engineSize = scanner.nextDouble();
        fuelType = scanner.next();
        gearbox = scanner.next();
        transmission = scanner.next();
        mileage = scanner.nextInt();
        dateFirstRegistered = scanner.next();
    }
}

it reads in the file perfect
, but the boolean field always says false when im trying to store that data which has to be either yes or no depending on what it says on the line in the file

it does it reads both yes n no in the order of the lines which is good , but i need to store them in a boolean

yeah i only changed it to see if it was reading the yes n no's.

no it kept saying false when trying to store them

        System.out.println(" Mileage : " + mileage + " Date First Registered : " + dateFirstRegistered);
 
 
    }
 
    public void readData(Scanner scanner)
    {
        group = scanner.next();
        vehID = scanner.next();
        regNo = scanner.next();
        make = scanner.next();
        model = scanner.next();
        String yes = scanner.next();
         System.out.println(yes);
         airCon = yes.equals("yes");
        engineSize = scanner.nextDouble();
        fuelType = scanner.next();
        gearbox = scanner.next();
        transmission = scanner.next();
        mileage = scanner.nextInt();
        dateFirstRegistered = scanner.next();
    }
}

it prints out the yes n no in each line, so it means that it reads what i want to storee, but not store it

yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=Yes<
yes=Yes<
yes=Yes<
yes=Yes<
yes=Yes<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=Yes<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=No<
yes=Yes<
yes=Yes<
yes=Yes<

thank you man it works . can you do something else for me im just confused on how to write a test class on testing how to create 3 objects and adding them to an array list.
