Thread: character problem

I am writing a lexical analyzer for a fictional language in java. I have a for loop which prints out the type and the tokens read. The thing is it prints one character at a time and there is a reserved word 'print'. I am having trouble with making it recognize that it is a reserved word and not just a normal one (Identifier).
Here is my loop:

private static void readLetters(int i) {
        for (int j=0;j<36;j++)
        {
 
            if (shitarray[i]==letters[j])
            {
                String abc ="" +shitarray[i];
                d=abc;
                if (c != "Identifier ") {
                    c = "Identifier ";
                    System.out.print(c);
                    System.out.print(abc);
 
                } else {
                    c = "Identifier ";
                    System.out.print(abc);
                }
 
 
            } 
}
 
            }

Thx in advance for any help.

Don't use == for testing String equality. Use the equals() method instead. == tests whether the references point to the same instance, .equals() checks whether they contain the same String value.

Take a look at the String API. It has several constructors that might be useful to you.
