    Default Java Horoscope program running but not as intended

    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Horoscope {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		System.out.println("Enter you birth month:");
    		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    		String mon = sc.nextLine();
    		System.out.println("Enter you birth day");
    		int day = sc.nextInt();
    		String sign = "";
    		if((mon == "January" && day >= 21) || (mon == "February" && day <= 18)) {
    			sign = "Aquarius";
    		}
    		else if((mon == "February" && day >= 19) || (mon == "March" && day <= 20)) {
    			sign = "Pisces";
    		}
    		else if((mon == "March" && day >= 21) || (mon == "April" && day <= 20)) {
    			sign = "Aries";
    		}
    		else if((mon == "April" && day >= 21) || (mon == "May" && day <= 20)) {
    			sign = "Taurus";
    		}
    		else if((mon == "May" && day >= 21) || (mon == "June" && day <= 21)) {
    			sign = "Gemini";
    		}
    		else if((mon == "June" && day >= 22) || (mon == "July" && day <= 22)) {
    			sign = "Cancer";
    		}

    Default Re: Java Horoscope program running but not as intended

    Can you post the output for what the program does now
    and explain what is wrong
    and show an example of what the desired output is?


    Note: Use the equals method to compare the contents of String objects. Do not use the == operator.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    You can't have a singular scanner variable being used for picking up both String and Integer input.
    Change this:
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    String mon = sc.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Enter you birth day");
    int day = sc.nextInt();
    To this
    Scanner ss = new Scanner(System.in);
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    String mon = ss.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Enter you birth day");
    int day = sc.nextInt();
    (and adjust the rest of your code accordingly)
