I was trying to compare a user input with a predefined string. But it did not show my expected result. Here is the code 

import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringMatching {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scannerObj=new Scanner(System.in);
        String userinput=scannerObj.nextLine();
            System.out.println(userinput);

        System.out.println(userinput);
        if(userinput=="yes")
        {
            System.out.println("Yes! Working..");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("Not Working..");
        }


    }
}
The output of this program shows Not Working. I don't know what I missed here. Looking for your kind support. Regards

In Java == compares whether the two references refers to the same object. It does not check whether the content of the string is equal.

As already stated, use String.equals(otherString) instead
