    Default logical errors

    Hi all, I have 2 segments of two different codes that are having problems and I can't seem to find what I am doing wrong. The first code has a logical error. Any ideas?

    First code :
    Scanner console = new Scanner(system.in);
    System.out.print("Type a number: ");
    int number = console.nextInt();
     
    if (number % 2 == 0) {
         if (number % 3 == 0) {
              System.out.println("Divisible by 6.");
         } else {
              System.out.println("Odd.");
         }
    }


    Second code :
    Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("What is your favorite color?");
    String name = console.next();
     
    if (name == "blue") {
         System.out.println("Mine, too!");

    Don't use the equals operator, ==, to compare Strings. use the equals() method.

    It should be 'name.equals' instead of 'name equals', but yes.
