Thread: My First program, I need help.

I'm trying to make it so you type in you username, then you type it in later
and if the two match then it prints logged in succesfully, but it's basically saying the two don't match..?



import java.util.Scanner;
class Der{

public static void main(String[]arguments)

{

Scanner key = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Set your Username: ");
String UserName = key.nextLine();
Scanner key2 = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter your UserName");
String EnteredUserName = key2.nextLine();

if (EnteredUserName == UserName)

{

System.out.print("Logged in Successfully");
}

}
}

You should use the String's equals() method instead of the == operator when comparing Strings.
And for your next posts be sure you use the code tags to get highlighting in your code.

I tried the equals mehod, and it still isn't working..

String a = key.nextLine();
String b = key2.nextLine();
 
 
if(a.equals(b)){

Your code is working for me as expected. You are probably entering different Strings for a and b (a space after one of the inputs might be the problem). Try printing them as Norm suggested and you 'll find out what the problem is.

//You do not need to create key and key2. One will work.

import java.util.*;

class Application{

public static void main(String[]arguments)

{

Scanner key = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Set your Username: ");
String UserName = key.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter your UserName");
String EnteredUserName = key.nextLine();




if(UserName.equals(EnteredUserName)){

System.out.print("Logged in Successfully");
}
else
System.out.println("Unsucessful"); just to check whether it works or not you can delete it later

}
}
