this doesn't change the value of ok because its passed by value

change(boolean ok)
{
    ok = true;    // only has an effect in this methods scope
}

So I figured using the Boolean class may achive this because its passed by
reference

change(Boolean ok)
{
    // but no method to change value inside the class
}


Please don't ask ne to use the return value as this returns something else.
I'm probably going to get it to throw an exception instead but I'm
interested
to know how you would do this and why the Boolean class doesn't provide a
method to change the value - weird if you ask me!
