How to make if statement with user input

Question

i want to make if statement with user input in java.

Answer 1

Scanner test = new Scanner(System.in);

if (test.nextLine == "1234"){
System.out.println("true");
} else {
System.out.println("false");

// i tried to put 1234 but the output always false

Answer 2

Ah, nice start 😎

Have a look at this code, I'm using the .equals method. I read that in Java, the == compares by reference. The .equals method compares the value of the string.

Hopefully I've explained this carefully. I'm still learning Java myself.

Answer 5

Scanner test=new Scanner(System.in);

String ans= test.nextLine().equals("1234") ? "true" : "false";
System.out.println(ans);

Answer 6

you can use command line arguments for user input directly in if statements
if(args[0].equals("sololearn")) {
System.out.println("sololearn is best");
} else {
System.out.println("ok");
}
