Re: Error in IF-Else Code
Why not .equals() instead of ==. As well said here;Originally Posted by RaoPatek
The == operator tests if the two references point/refer to the same object.
It is possible for there to be two Strings (ie two different objects) with the same contents. The equals method would say they had the same value (true), the == operator would say the references point to different objects (false).
