If statement is ignored
- by user2898120
I am making a simple matchmaker as a learning project in JAVA. My program so far just asks a few questions, but I wanted to do gender specific questions, so I asked for their sex (m or f) and then attempted to add a message that only showed if sex was m. The dialog should say "well done, you are male!". Else it restarts method. Every time, no matter what I type it restarts the program.
Here is my code:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
setVars();
}
public static void setVars(){
String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What is your name?");
String sAge = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What is your age?");
String sex = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What is your sex?\n(Enter m or f)");
if (sex == "m"){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Well done, you are male.\nKeep Going!");
}
int age = Integer.parseInt(sAge);
String chars = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Name three charectaristics");
}
}
