Question

I’m just learning java so this is probaly a really dumb question but i can’t find a simple enough answer. I’m trying to make a make the program so if the user types “male” to run the System.out.print(“You are a guy”);
Here’s my code:

    import java.util.Scanner;

public class clac {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        double gender;
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Are you male or female? ");
        gender = input.nextDouble();
        if (gender == "male"){
            System.out.println("You are a guy");
        }else{
            System.out.print("You are a gal.");
        }
    }
}

What you are doing wrong: You need to read a String. A String is a piece of text. A double is a decimal number. You are reading a double.

How to solve it:

String gender = input.next(); // read a String, instead of double
if (gender.equals("male")) // if (gender == "male") use .equals for strings
{
    System.out.println("U mad bro!?");
} else
{
    System.out.println("Hey Doll!");
}
