String and IF statement

**kingsta** · October 24th, 2013, 05:29 PM

	String user1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the first player's name"); //Ask's for the user's name
	String user2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the second player's name"); //Ask's for the user's name
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, user1 + " will go first! good luck!");

I have this code and I wanted to make it so that if the user did not enter any name, it'd set the user1 to player1 and user2 to player2.

I tried using an if statement something like

if(user1 == " ")
{
}

but not sure what to put within the if statement

Use equals() instead of == to compare object values. See http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...html#post18725
