I have been trying to make a simple program in eclipse indigo, but kept getting the same problem, so I made this test to see the code in the simplest way. It looks like this:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class test {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter a letter");
String answer = input.nextLine();
if(answer == "a"){
System.out.println("a equals 1");
}
else if(answer == "b"){
System.out.println("a equals 2");
}
else{
System.out.println("a is not 1 or 2");
}
input.close();
}
}
My problem seems to be in the line
String answer = input.nextLine();
I found this small piece of information after a lot of testing. If I change the code so it will use integers it will work, but it seems to have some problems with the String. Does anyone know what's wrong?
