Answer 2

if(input.equals(word)){
// equal
}
else{
// not equal
}

Answer 3

Strings are objects so they should be compared with equals method. Just like @Iowshuen showed. I can just add that double equals checks if the objects are leading to the same object reference.

So to sum up
1. primitives should be compared with: ==
2. objects, like String should be compared with: equals method
3. double equals (==) used on object checks if objects lead to the same reference.

Answer 4

if(inpt==word){
//code
}
not working......
