Program please help

[dbaby7]

Hi guys
Im trying to do this question but I've been stuck on it for ages and despite how much I change it it wont work so if somebody could help that would be great. The question is to read in a word from the user and each time display how many times the word has occured like this
Success
0 previous occurrences
breeds
0 previous occurrences
success
1 previous occurrences
success
2 previous occurrences

This is the program I have


import java.util.*;

class Question2
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Enter a word:");

int count = -1;
ArrayList<Object> words = new ArrayList<Object>();
while (!Console.endOfFile())
{

String readWord = Console.readString();
words.add(readWord);

for (int i = 0; i < words.size() ; i++ )
{

if (words.get(i) == readWord)
{
count++;
}

}
System.out.println(count + " previous occurances.");
System.out.println("Enter a word:");

count = -1;
}

}
}



Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Where does Console come from?
Why ArrayList<Object> ?
words.get(i) == readWord will never work properly. Use String.equals()

Hi
Thank you so much for your help! Console is a class file I have in my directory to allow user input. Using String.equals() worked perfectly! I didn't think it wasn't working as I wasn't getting any compile errors! Thank you for your help!
