Help Converting to an Acronym

I am trying to convert a list of college majors to their responding acronyms and I am completely stuck. This is what I have so far. Help would be much appreciated.

Code :

---

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Majors {
public static void main(String args[])
{
	String major = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Type Your Full Major");
	String majorInitial =" ";
	if (major == "Technical Resource Management")
	{
		majorInitial = "TRM";
	}
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, majorInitial);
}
}

What exactly are you stuck on? Looks like you are on your way...just add some else if statements for more majors. One minor suggestion would be to use

Code :

---

major.equals("Technical Resource Management")

---

rather than

Code :

---

major == ""

---

A more advance option would be to use a HashMap to store your key/value (eg major/acronym)

Thank you so much for the minor suggestion. It works perfectly now!
