How to delay an if-statement check? Java/Eclipse

[Jony27]

I am just wondering if there is anyway to delay an if-statement check? The condition for the if-statement requires an input value from another class and every time I run the code, it always checks the condition before I can input the value and save it to the variable.

Yeah, I believe I am multi-threading.
We haven't looked at any of those things yet and I have no knowledge with them

I assume this is for some sort of school/university work?

What makes you think you're multi-threading if you haven't looked at that yet and have no knowledge of it?

Can you post a bit more of your code so we can see what's going on?

Yup, uni assignment, it just came up as one of the suggestions when googling

Make the class that provides the input a Callable and use the returned Future in your if statement. The thread will block until the input is made available.

I got it sorted somehow by thread sleeping only to be told by a friend that its basically "cheating" but I had to submit it yesterday, and while its "cheating" it got the code to work as I wanted.

But i'll definitely look into other ways of doing it in the future.

Yeah, me neither, I don't think I know as much as I think I do
