#I cant figure out what is being returned

There are 3 places where a perameter value (into) could change or not change. One is that it changes inside the if statment under getSubject() and doesnt change the entire return statment outside of the if statment. Find the if statment with into=false to understand what im saying. Another is that the perameter "true" never changes with a return statment. I am having trouble debugging and figuring out what is going on. As you can see I used print statments but i dont think it is showing me what is being returned. I also think the value changes the print statment but the original perameter is returned, thus the print statment is doing nothing. I will leave the input class and m ymain method where the input class is being called.

What's your actual question? And it's a bit like your original question. Formatting it a bit makes it more readable and easier to follow.

i figured out what was wrong but dont know how to fix it. In main, there is the line "else if(input1.getDate(true)){"
I want it to recognize the return value and not run the method itself

Save it as a variable?

I think we need a better description of what you're trying to achieve. There are some structural oddities that make it hard to understand intent.

Additionally there are things that simply shouldn't happen - like creating many scanners consuming System.in.

if(input1.getDate(true)){" i want this line to give me true or false, as it is in an if statment, instead of calling and running the method itself
