    Default Choice condition IF based on value

    How come I can't get into the else? where did I go wrong? I would like to do this test based on this structure that I have outlined.
    I don't want to use switches and other things.
    Only with this structure.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    		String a = "10";
    		String b = "6";
    		boolean t = false;
    		boolean v = false;
     
    		for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) {
    			for (int j = 0; j < b.length(); j++) {
    				if (a.equals(b)) {
    					t = true;
    					System.out.println("sono uguali");
    				}
    			}
    			if (t == false) {
    				if(a != b) {
    				System.out.println("non sono uguali: " + a + "!=" + b);
    				}
    				else {
    					v= true;
    					if(a.equals("10")) {
    						System.out.println("Non inserire il numero 10");
    					}
    				}
     
    			} 
    		}
    	}

    suppose that a and b are objects, does this approach work the same?

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    		String a = new String();
    		String b = new String();
    		boolean t = false;
    		boolean v = false;
    		a = "10";
    		b = "7";
     
    		for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) {
    			for (int j = 0; j < b.length(); j++) {
    				if (a.equals(b)) {
    					t = true;
    					System.out.println("sono uguali");
    				}
    			}
    			if (t == false) {
    				if (a != b) {
    					System.out.println("non sono uguali: " + a + "!=" + b);
    				} else {
    					if (a.equals("10")) {
    						v = true;
    						System.out.println("Should not be  10");
    					}
     
    				}
     
    			}
     
    		}
    	}
     
    }
    does not enter me

    if (a.equals("10")) {
    v = true;
    System.out.println("Should not be 10");
    }



    suppose there is get and set does it work the same?

    Default Re: Choice condition IF based on value

    can't get into the else
    You won't enter the else unless the if is false.
    if (a != b) {
    Always use the equals method when comparing objects like Strings.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
