readBoolean Java

Java method that lets us read in a true or false value input from the user.

For example in this program:

boolean userLikesPizza = readBoolean("Do you like pizza: ");

System.out.println("You like pizza: " + userLikesPizza);

If the user inputs true, the output will be:

You like pizza: true

Note: readBoolean will only accept true or false as an answer from the user. If the user answers anything else, the user will be reprompted to try again.
