Make the value of variable the same as another

Question

I am trying to make a program to help me create dnd characters faster without having to look up which stats are needed for the class, but the problem I am having is that the variables won't transfer from one to another and the if statements dont work to run when it is a certain class. Any help or tips would be much appreciated.

public class StatCalculator {
    public int Strength;
    public int Dexterity;
    public int Constitution;
    public int Intelligence;
    public int Wisdom;
    public int Charisma;
    public int firstStat;
    public int secondStat;
    public int thirdStat;
    public int fourthStat;
    public int fifthStat;
    public int sixthStat;
    public String playerClass;
    public boolean race;
    private static Scanner myObj;

1) `if` statements don't work because you have to use `equals` method when comparing strings by their contents, not `==` operator comparing the references in memory 2) you don't assign values in full constructor and you don't seem to use this constructor anywhere 3) not clear why you need to recreate instance of `Scanner` each time 4) please follow [Java naming convention](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html).) - class members start with lower case letters `strength`, `wisdom`, etc. — Nowhere Man, Jul 15 '20 at 06:09

I did the same thing a while back, instead of making it the same simply UPDATE the value to what the player updated if it's all global and done properly it should work and it's easier and takes less code.

would it be possible for you to explain more, I don't quite understand your answer with the use of those pronouns. – Jul 15 '20 at 05:51
Use and input method, input1 = playerinput the update value of the stat so, firststat = input1 – H Gaming Jul 15 '20 at 05:53

Make the value of variable the same as another
