Taking string input from user in java

Question

Can anyone help me how I can able to get the string value from the user? Below is my code:

String i;

    String[] people={"Ronald","Donald"};

System.out.println("Whose information do you want?"+Arrays.toString(people));

Scanner s =new Scanner(System.in);

**i=s.nextLine();**

          if(i=="Ronald")

     {

         System.out.println("Ronald is CEO and is in Room No 20"); 

     }

          if(i=="Donald")

     {

         System.out.println("Donald is postman and is in Room No 10"); 

     }

     }

    }

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Basically, in able to check for the equality of the string, you should use the equals method rather than "=="

if(i.equals("Ronald"))

The Output which you will get:

Whose information do you want?[Ronald, Donald]

Ronald

Ronald is CEO and is in Room No 20

I hope this will help.
