Thread: User input string's problem

this is my code:


import java.util.Scanner;
public class prac {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("input : ");
String x = input.next();
System.out.println(x=="a");



}

}

I'm a beginner of Java,
The code above is that simply lets the user enter a string type variable, and then compare whether the x variable is equal to "A", my problem is when i input "a" to x variable , but the result of System.out.println(x=="a") is false ! why ? can someone explain ?

String is object, == compares
if two objects are exactly same, not
if they have stored same values "a"
use
x.equals("a")
for better result
