    Default Why don't if blocks work ?

    I wrote a method but if blocks don't work, result is =0 male 0 female.
    How can ı fix it?
     public static void genderCount(String arr[][]){
            int maleCounter=0;
            int femaleCounter=0;
            for(int i =0;i<arr.length;i++){
                for(int j =0;j<arr[i].length;j++){
                    if(j==1){
                        if(arr[i][j]=="m" || arr[i][j]=="M" ){
                            maleCounter++;
                        }
                        else if(arr[i][j]=="F" || arr[i][j]=="f" ){
                            femaleCounter++;
                        }
                    }
     
                }
     
            }
            System.out.println(maleCounter+" male "+femaleCounter+" female");
        }

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