    Default Scanning user input text

    Hello! I´ve been trying to get user input as a text and then outputting one of 2 answers depending on the input.
    I´ve also posted this on stackoverflow.com under the same title, since it may have few answers.

    import java.util.*;
     
    public class kt_3_1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        String t;
        System.out.println("Enter the time of year");
        t = scanner.nextLine();
        if ( t.equals("summer") ) {
            System.out.printf("%n%s", t);
        }   else {
        System.out.println("FUUUUUUUu");
        }
    }
    }

    This program compiles but always returns "FUUUUUUUu", even if I´d typed "summer". What am i doing wrong?

    Thanks for mentioning your cross post, but if you provide the link to your stackoverflow question, that would be nice.

    Where does the variable vaheaeg come from?
