Scanner doesn't recognize "y"
I am a newbie to this language but not to programming.
I am using scanner to get the client's input and recognize when they type "y". For some reason "y" does not equal "y". Snippet
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String response;
response = input.next();
if (response != "y")
System.out.println("what?");
I run it, type "y" and get "What?"
Re: Scanner doesn't recognize "y"
Use the equals method to compare String objects, not the == or != operator.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
