Thread: If statement called before user input ?

Hello all,

I've started with java code yesturday and I'm fooling around with it a little now, but...
I ran in to my first ever java problem!

I have this code down here and I want the user to either type Yes or No but I can't, the if statement is called before I even put anything.
This is probably easy to fix but since I'm completely new to java, I have no idea how to do so.

Code:

package core;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter Name: ");
String name = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter Age: ");
int age = input.nextInt();

System.out.println("Name: " + name);
System.out.println("Age: " + age);

System.out.println("Start loop ? Type Yes or No.");
String doLoop = input.nextLine();

int loop = 0;

if (doLoop == "Yes") {

System.out.println("Loop will start.");

while (loop < 5) {

System.out.println("Looping: " + loop);

}

} else if (doLoop == "No"){

System.out.println("No loop will start, end of script.");

}
}
}
