Question

I am writing a code in java. I want to ask the user for input for ayes/no question and use the yes or no answer like this:

int y = (m.indexOf('/'));
    if (y == -1) {
      System.out.println("invalid");
      System.out.println("tryagain?");
      String w = scan.nextLine();
      if (w == "yes") {
        System.out.println("okthen");
      }
      else if (w == "no") {
       System.out.println("exiting");

every time I run this code, it just repeats even when I type inno.

So my question is:

How do I ask for a yes/no user input and how would I know if thatuser typed in exactly yes or no.

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks to compare strings in java you must use one of the many comparemethods int y = (m.indexOf('/'));     if (y == -1) {       System.out.println("invalid");       System.out.println("tryagain?");       String w = scan.nextLine();       if(w.compareTo("yes")==0) {         System.out.println("okthen");       }      else if(w.compareTo("no") == 0) {        System.out.println("exiting");
