    Default JOptionPane using If and Else

    I am creating a java program that would do some conversion, unfortunately i can't make it work. Can anyone help me? Here's my code
    package If_then_Else;
    import javax.swing.*;
 
public class If_then_Else {
    static final double km_per_miles = 1.6093;
    static final double meter_per_miles = 1.6093;
    static final double feet_per_miles = 5279.85565107;
    static final double inches_per_miles = 63358.26781284;
    static final double cm_per_miles = 160930.0002446136;
 
    static final double miles_per_km = 0.6213882;
    static final double meter_per_km = 1000;
    static final double feet_per_km = 3280.8399;
    static final double inches_per_km = 39370.07;
 
    static final double miles_per_meter = 621.3882;
    static final double km_per_meter = 1000;
    static final double feet_per_meter = 3.280839;
    static final double inches_per_meter = 39.3700788;
    static final double cm_per_meter = 100;
 
    static final double miles_per_feet = 0.0001893991176;
    static final double km_per_feet = 0.0003048;
    static final double meter_per_feet = 0.3048;
    static final double inches_per_feet = 12;
    static final double cm_per_feet = 30.48;
 
    static final double miles_per_inches = 0.000015783254;
    static final double km_per_inches = 0.000025349;
    static final double meter_per_inches = 0.02534;
    static final double feet_per_inches = 0.08333;
    static final double cm_per_inches = 2.51;
 
    static final double miles_per_cm = 0.000006218797;
    static final double km_per_cm = 0.000004;
    static final double meter_per_cm = 0.004;
    static final double feet_per_cm = 0.032808386877;
    static final double inches_per_cm = 0.3937008;
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        System.out.println("Choose a Conversion:");
        System.out.println("1. Miles");
        System.out.println("2. Kilometers");
        System.out.println("3. Meter");
        System.out.println("4. Feet");
        System.out.println("5. Inches");
        System.out.println("6. Centimeters");
        System.out.println("7. Exit");
 
        String opt = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Choice:");
 
        if (opt == 1) {
            System.out.println("Number of Kilometers:");
 
       String milesStr;
       double km;
       double miles;
 
       milesStr = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Number of Kilometers:");
       miles = Double.parseDouble(milesStr);
 
       km = miles * km_per_miles;
 
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "km " + km + " miles.");
 
        }
        else if (opt == 2){
        System.out.println("Number of Miles:");
        }
        else if (opt == 3){
        System.out.println("Number of Miles:");       
        }
        else if (opt == 4){
        System.out.println("Number of Miles:");       
        }
        else if (opt == 5){
        System.out.println("Number of Miles:");       
        }
        else if (opt == 6){
        System.out.println("Number of Miles:");       
        }
    }
 
}
    If the first conversion works then i can do the rest. Please help me! ASAP!

    String opt = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Choice:");

    if (opt == 1) {
    This won't work.
    opt is a String variable and 1 is an int literal.
    If you want to compare a String to another String, use the equals method.
    If the literal 1 is to be a String enclose it in "1"

    }

    How could i also make the number i input to appear on the joptionpane? Such as "1 km = 1.6093mile "

    how to make it loop.
    Describe what you want to use a loop for.
    Two popular loops:
    for() which can use a variable that is initialized to a value and incremented and tests an ending condition
    while(condition) which loops while the condition is true.

    I'll choose the while condition, in that case, does it mean i have to replace everything if i will use the while loop?

    It shouldn't. What you'll need is a way for the user to tell the program that he wants to exit the program. Usually that is done by having the user enter a special value to signal he's done. When the program sees that value, it exits the loop either by using a break statement or by setting the condition controlling the loop to false.
