Can anyone see whats wrong with this code

Why is this code not printing out the print statement when I enter a name inside songRemove that matches the array.

Code java:

---

  System.out.println("What song title would you like to remove from the array?");
      songRemove=keyboard.nextLine();
 
      keyboard.nextLine();
 
      for(int count=0; count<=9; count++)
      {
 
        if (songRemove == songs[count])
        {
           System.out.println("You want to remove" + songs[count]);
        }
 
      }

You should use the equals() method to compare the content of objects like String , not the == operator.

What is the second call to the nextLine() method for? The String it returns is not being saved.

Still does not fix the problem, heres my code now

Code java:

---

System.out.println("What song title would you like to remove from the array?");
      songRemove=keyboard.nextLine();
 
      keyboard.nextLine();
 
      for(int count=0; count<=9; count++)
      {
 
        if (songRemove.equals(songs[count]))
        {
           System.out.println("You want to remove" + songs[count]);
        }
 
      }

That fixes the problem I had here:

Put that second, "unused" call to nextLine() in a println() to see what it reads.

Also printout the value of songRemove to see what its value is.

put it in a print ln as in System.out.println(keyboard.nextLine());??

ps. i discovered songRemove has no value, is this because of this 'unused' call?

put it in a println as in
System.out.println("nL="+keyboard.nextLine() +"<");??
