That is not how to compare multiple values in Java. What that code does is assign x the value of y, then checks to make sure that x is not equal to z.
You need to use the logical or operator || to chain together multiple conditions using logical or.
if(x == y || x == z)
The same logical code statement applies to .equals:
if(x.equals(y) || x.equals(z))
