Answer 1

Because of ==
If you compare int, long, char or other primitive data types then == is okay.

But for String you need equals().

If(choice.equals("attack"){
//print attack
}else if(choice.equals("defend"){
//print defend
}else{
//print error
}

Answer 2

About comparing objects:

Answer 4

What did you type as user input? I typed 1 and 2, and it's doing alright for both run

Answer 5

Oh I had just changed it to use int as the values. I orginally was using a string variable and getting user input through “option.next();”

Answer 6
