How to write a constructor that contains a boolean value?

Question

This is a dumb question but it\'s been a long time since I\'ve worked with java... How can I write my constructor with Boolean values or should I just write a default construct

Answer 1

A boolean parameter is just like any other type.

So, it would be like this.

public Creature(int startTerrain, boolean flying, boolean magic, boolean charge, boolean ranged, int special){
        terrain = startTerrain;
        flyingCreature = flying;
        magicCreature = magic;
        canCharge = charge;
        rangedCombat = ranged;
        specialAbility = special;
}  

If these parameters are going to be always the same on the beggining, then you can set them on a default constructor, as you said.

Since, you have classes inheriting this one, their constructor will have to call super(), which calls the parent class constructor. If you call it without any parameters, the base constructor of Creature will be called.
