Question

I have to write the orange flow chart here in Java
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/19dt7JP9pRfKiMpGTryiJTKA0cDInI74BAXNEsHIZm5A/edit?hl=en_US

I can't figure out how to write an if statement for the boolean "alive"

Answer 1

The chart calls for a while statement not an if statement. However, in both cases, each evaluates to either true or false inside the parenthesis.

boolean alive = true;
while (alive) { do stuff }
or
if (alive) { do stuff}

the above is a sort of short hand....you could write it like

while (alive == true) {do stuff}
or
if (alive == true) {do stuff}
