having this issue where the code does not recognize whether or not the password inputted is correct-CodePudding

I have an issue making the program understand if the answer inputted by the user is correct or not. I tried using String.Empty instead but that did nit work im super confused right now as to why this isnt working, i did also try userInput = password and vice versa but that made it so the answer was always correct i honestly couldn't think of anything else this is how my code looks now:

       string password = "abcd1234";
        string userInput = String.Empty;
        string Text1 = "Please Insert Your Password";
        string Text2 = "Incorrect Password!";
        string Text3 = "Correct You May Proceed!";

         
        Console.WriteLine(Text1);
        Console.ReadLine();
        if (userInput == password)
            Console.WriteLine(Text3);            
        
        
        if (userInput != password)
            Console.WriteLine(Text2);

CodePudding user response：

please use this:

        string password = "abcd1234";
        string Text1 = "Please Insert Your Password";
        string Text2 = "Incorrect Password!";
        string Text3 = "Correct You May Proceed!";
        string userInput = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine(Text1);
        if (password.Equals(userInput))
            Console.WriteLine(Text3);
        else 
            Console.WriteLine(Text2);

Can I assume you have to hit enter before seeing your Text1 prompt, too?

string userInput = Console.ReadLine(); is listening for your input before anything else you see in your app. This line should be moved to after you prompt for your password.

The other ReadLine should be removed:

    Console.ReadLine(); \\this doesn't assign your input to anything

This line is waiting for input but doesn't do anything with it.

You do want the '==', by the way - this returns true if the two are equal. Single '=' is used for assignment, like you have earlier in this code.
