Im trying to test command line arguments in Java. I am typing the name of my program then -c, like below

java myprogram -c

here is my code

    System.out.println(args[0]);
    System.out.println(args.length);
    if (args[0]== "-c")
        System.out.println("YES");

when I run the program I get:

-c
1

but not the YES.... can anyone tell me why?

`if (args.length > 0 && "-c".equals(args[0])) {...}` – user2418306 Oct 02 '14 at 15:11

== is for checking if two objects are the same, use .equals – SS781 Oct 02 '14 at 15:12
