Thread: Rock paper scissors program not displaying winner

So this is my code so far:

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;

class rps2{
public static void main(String args[]){
Random number = new Random();
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

// player chooses

String userinput;


System.out.println("Enter your throw (rock,paper,scissors)(enter exactly as shown)");
userinput = input.nextLine();




System.out.println("The player throws "+userinput);

// computer chooses
int integer;
String computerinput;
integer = 1+number.nextInt(3);
if(integer == 1){
computerinput = "rock";
}else if(integer == 2){
computerinput = "paper";
}else{
computerinput = "scissors";
}

String message = "The computer throws "+ computerinput;
System.out.println(message);

//determining winner...
if(userinput == "rock" && computerinput == "rock"){
System.out.println("It's a tie");
}else if(userinput == "rock" && computerinput == "paper"){
System.out.println("Computer wins");
}else if(userinput == "rock" && computerinput == "scissors"){
System.out.println("You win");
}else if(userinput == "paper" && computerinput == "paper"){
System.out.println("It's a tie");
}else if(userinput == "paper" && computerinput == "rock"){
System.out.println("You win");
}else if(userinput == "paper" && computerinput == "scissors"){
System.out.println("Computer wins");
}else if(userinput == "scissors" && computerinput == "scissors"){
System.out.println("It's a tie");
}else if(userinput == "scissors" && computerinput == "rock"){
System.out.println("Computer wins");
}else if(userinput == "scissors" && computerinput == "paper"){
System.out.println("You win");
}


}
}

Everything works perfectly until it gets to the "determining winners" part. For some reason, the program just ends before it gets to the "determining winners".

I'm new to JAVA and am working on the same game. I posted mine on here for help also because I keep ending in a tie. I'm not sure but where you have:
integer = 1+number.nextInt(3); I think should be integer = randomNumbers.nextInt(3); ...Also its suppose to start with a variable name and I don't think you can use integer as a variable name. But again I'm new to JAVA.

The issue is the way you are comparing ==. When comparing strings you need to use .equals(String) unless you want to know if the memory reference is identical in which case you would use the ==.
