Need Help Ran into problem

[Curran171]

// I seem to be having a problem when I run the program it doesnt come up line for line, I get one line then two lines in a row. I want to know how to make it so I input the test data request after request.


import java.util.Scanner;
public class M_C_LotteryWinnings
{


public static void main(String[] args)

{
System.out.println ("Welcome to Michael's pooled Lottery Winnings Calculater. \n");

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner( System.in );

System.out.println ( "Enter The Lottery Name:" );
String name = keyboard.next();

System.out.println ( "Enter the number of people in your lottery pool:" );
String people = keyboard.next();

System.out.println ( "Enter the total number of tickets purchased:" );
int Tickets = keyboard.nextInt();

if( Tickets % 100 != 0 )
System.out.println( "Number of tickets must be a multiple of People in pool." );
System.out.println ( "Enter the total number of tickets purchased:" );

System.out.println ( "Enter the combined winnings on all tickets:" );
int winnings = keyboard.nextInt();

System.out.println ( "Enter the per-ticket Purchase Price:" );
double price = keyboard.nextDouble();

System.out.println ( "Enter the percentage of winnings that will be donated to charity:" );
int donation = keyboard.nextInt();

System.out.println ( "TRUE/FALSE: Allocations to be rounded down to the nearest multiple of $100:" );
String rounded = keyboard.next();

System.out.println ( "TRUE/False: Purchaser of richest winning ticket receives a double share:" );
String richest = keyboard.next();

{
if( richest == "TRUE" )
System.out.println ( " Richest Winning Ticket share: " + winnings / 4 *2 );
}

System.out.println( "Here are the allocations for your winnings in the Super Jackpot Lottery...\n " );

System.out.println ( "Total Winnings: " + winnings );
System.out.println ( "Number of shares: " + Tickets );

{
if( rounded == "True" )
System.out.println ( "Winnings per share: " + (winnings / 4) *100 / 100 );
System.out.println ( " Unallocated Winnings: $ " + ( winnings - donation - ( winnings / Tickets * Tickets ) * 100 / 100 ) );
System.out.println ( " Percent ROI after donation: " + 100 * ( winnings - price ) / price * 100 / 100 );

System.out.println ( "Winnings per Share: " + winnings / 4 );

Can you copy the contents of the console window from when you execute the code and paste it here?

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

One problem I see is the use of == to compare two String objects. You need to use the equals() method when comparing Strings.

Also if you want to allow different spellings of words by ignoring the case, the String class has a method to do that.

Can you copy the contents of the console window from when you execute the code and paste it here that shows what you are talking about.

I see you haven't changed the == to equals() yet.
