While loop does not function properly

Hi guys. I have a simple problem with my While loop but I was looking into it long time and I don't understand why loop goes over again all the time and never ends. As you see cont = "t", but later I enter "n" with keyboard, but loop still goes on. I even made this line:

Code:

---

System.out.println(cont);

---

just to make sure how does cont looks like just before loop ends and it says that cont is "n", but the while loop never ends. Inputt is a method I made to enter strings but it works well.

Code:

---


          String cont = "t";

          while (cont != "n"){
          System.out.println("Enter new part name:");
          partName2 = inputt();                 
          System.out.println("Do you want to enter aditional parts? y/n");
          [B]System.out.println(cont);[/B] // cont is "t" here
          cont = inputt();       
          [B]System.out.println(cont);[/B] // cont is "n" here if I enter "n".
          }

== does not work as expected on Strings; they check if they are the same String object, not if they represent the same text. Use "s1.equals(s2)" to see if two strings match instead.

Yeah now it works :)

Thanks for fast answer!

Remember to mark as solved! You can do that in Thread Tools at the top. It'll redirect you to a missing page, but it'll work anyway.
