System.out.print ("Create a savings account? Enter yes or no: ");
String createSavingsAccount = console.readLine();
if (createSavingsAccount == "yes")
{
    System.out.print ("Enter the balance in the savings account: ");
    savingsBalance = Double.parseDouble(console.readLine());
}

When I enter yes, the program skips the if statement and goes back to the main menu. How do I get it to check the user input?

    For future reference: this is not a good answer because it does not explain what the problem is and how this solves it. This question is very commonly asked so you should refrain from answering these in a lesser form but instead flag the question as a duplicate of the comprehensive post on the subject. – Jeroen Vannevel Jan 17 '15 at 00:04
