so I am making a simple program for a school project. I am running into a problem where when I run it and it goes to the if statement where you rerun the program if you get it wrong, and it does not rerun it. No matter what I select (yes or no) it just goes to the else statement. I cant seem to see what is wrong. Thanks for any help!

package com.nathandevelops;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        int correctNumber = (int) (Math.random() * 100   1);
        System.out.println(correctNumber);

        System.out.print("Guess the right number: ");
        int guess = scanner.nextInt();


        if (guess == correctNumber) {
            System.out.println("Correct!");
        } else if(guess != correctNumber){
            System.out.print("That was incorrect! The correct answer is "   correctNumber   ". Would you like to play again? (yes/no)");
            String tryAgain = scanner.next();

            if (tryAgain == "yes") {
//                main(new String[]{});
                System.out.println("ok");
            } else if (tryAgain == "no"){
                System.out.println("Ok! Goodbye!");
                System.out.println(tryAgain);
            } else {
                System.out.println("OK!");
                System.out.println(tryAgain);
            }
        }

    }
}

CodePudding user response：

Try using tryAgain.equals() instead of ==. In Java, strings are compared with the .equals() method, not with the equality operator.
