chars

How do i do an if statement about chars?

as if...

import java.util.Scanner;

public class chars
{
  public static void main( String args[] )
  {
    String name1;
    String name2;
    int points1;
    int points2;
    
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in)

    System.out.println( "What is your name?" );
    name1 = input.next();

[B]    if ( name1 = Jerry )[/B]
    {
      points1 = points1 + 1;
    }
 
    System.out.println( "Whats your opponents name?" )
    name2 = input.next();

[B]    if ( name2 = CPU )[/B]
    {
      points2 = points2 + 1;
    }
  }
}

The if statements are what is annoying me.
I cant make it so it'll take the char....

thanks

Have you tried something like:

if (name1.equals("Jerry"))
{
  //....
}

oh darn, srry i tried that but forgot the () around jerry, but shouldn't there be another way to do that?

[whosadork]

also how would i do a defult, like make the defult Jerry so the user would have to delete the chars?

How do i do an if statement about chars?

[CODE]
if ( name1 = Jerry )
{
points1 = points1 + 1;
}

Don't you mean to use == rather than =?
Even C doesn't do the comparison with a single equal

[kellaw]

you cant compare strings with ==
only characters.
use compareTo or equals method.
