I have declared a (global) private boolean variable isLocked and I need to set it to true or false from a static function without violating the static rule. How can I do that?

if (verAccount != null && verAccount.nSequentialFailedAuthenticationAttempts==3) {
    System.out.println("YOUR ACCOUNT IS LOCKED :(");
    isLocked.equals(true);
}`

From static method you can only access static class members. So unless your boolean variable is static there's no way to do what you want. – Aleksei Budiak Sep 30 '17 at 05:33
makw `isLocked` as instance veriable associated with every objeect. – roottraveller Sep 30 '17 at 05:33
