    Default If Statement Not Working Correctly.

    If the person replies no to the question on line one, the code is supposed to respond False but it responds True. I don't know what I messed up here, but here is my code, if anyone could help out that would be great:

    System.out.println("Would you like to play again? (yes/no):");
    Scanner findresponse = new Scanner(System.in);
    String response = findresponse.nextLine();
    if (response == "no") {
    System.out.println("False");
    } else {
    System.out.println("True");
    }

    Use the equals() method to compare the contents of String objects, not the == operator.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
