I have a console program. I want to create a flag that can be set from one part of the code and checked by another part of the code. I assume that this is some type of variable, but how do I set and unset this flag? Thank you.

Try using a boolean variable for the flag and place it where all the code that needs to can access it. Possibly in some form of class that gets passed around/stored? Hope this helps,

Thank you Edward. boolean it is. It's the passing around and storing that confuses me!

If it's in a class then you make sure the object containing it gets passed around from method to method. Alternatively (and not recommended) for a simple program you could use a global variable.
