how compare strings in java? 23 answers

my programme kind of gets stuck after readline call, if statements don't work. doing wrong? #java-first-timer

import java.io.inputstreamreader; import java.io.bufferedreader; import java.io.ioexception; public class nums { public static void main(string[] args) throws ioexception { bufferedreader br = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(system.in)); system.out.println("number mania!!!"); system.out.println("pick favourite number 1 5"); string favnum = br.readline(); if (favnum=="3"){ system.out.println("your favourite number three!"); } else{ system.out.println("hi!"); } } }

use favnum.equals("3") instead of favnum == "3". should never utilize == compare objects; utilize .equals instead. (there few rare exceptions, won't need worry them until larn fair bit more java.)
