Problem with Scanners

[Sharoo]

Hi,
I'm having troubles with a scanner, I have it so that the input is saved to a variable and then when I try to use the variable in a boolean it's as if the input from the scanner is not saved to the variable. It looks like this:
public void reorderStock()
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
String answer;
double costUsual, costNew;
int extra;
System.out.print("Do you want to reorder the usual amount or a new amount? ");
answer = in.nextLine();
if (answer=="Usual")
{
costUsual = reorder(usualReorderAmount);
if (costUsual<cashInStore)
{
updatenumAvailable(usualReorderAmount);
updatecashInStore(-costUsual);
System.out.println("The amount of sandwiches order is " +usualReorderAmount+ " and it cost $" +costUsual+".");
}
}
else if (answer=="New")
{
System.out.println("How many extra sandwiches do you want to order? ");
extra = in.nextInt();
updateextraRequired(extra);
costNew = reorder(extraRequired);
if (costNew<cashInStore)
{
updatenumAvailable(extraRequired);
updatecashInStore(-costNew);
System.out.println("The amount of sandwiches order is " +extraRequired+ " and it cost $" +costNew+".");
updateextraRequired(-extra);
}
}
else
{
System.out.println("ERROR. You must input Usual or New.");
}
Instead of detecting Usual when it is input, its goes straight to the error down the bottom. Any help would be appreciated.

Google "comparing Strings in Java"

In the if statement use "equals()" instead of "==".Like if (answer.equals(Usual)).Both the String variables should be initialized. :-)
