You should learn standard Java concepts first, that is J2SE(Standard Edition). Lots of books also available, I'm Sam's publication user. If you can find this book.

Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days

Excellent book for beginners, I told you in my experience.

Thanks in advance...

This is a code:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

class DialogBox {
public static void main(String[] args) {

JFrame frame = new JFrame();

String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is your name:");

if (name == "Rodel") {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,"You are " + name);
}
else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,"I Dont Recognize Your Name");
}


}
}

I'll try to explain in simple words as much as possible. Simply for your question, the answer is NO. name is a String type variable. If the variable is Rodel, output is "You are Rodel". It gives on the "if" condition.

If not in "else" condition, your output is "I Dont Recognize Your Name". In this case if-else is not for numbers, for String, that is sequence of characters(letters, numbers, etc..)

JFrame and stuff are focusing on graphical format. You can learn those stuff in J2SE. In the code you have provide some errors. Try to find those later.

Hope it is clear to you.
