Why is my comparing if statement not working?

- (NSInteger)setSegment:(NSString *)segmentValue{
NSLog(@"setSegment began");
NSLog(@"Input Value: %@", segmentValue);
NSInteger var = -1;
if (segmentValue == @"Yes"){
    var = 1;
    NSLog(@"%d", var);
}
else if (segmentValue == @"East"){
    var = 1;
    NSLog(@"%d", var);
}
else if (segmentValue == @"No"){
    var = 0;
    NSLog(@"%d", var);
}
else if (segmentValue == @"North"){
    var = 0;
    NSLog(@"%d", var);
}
else if (segmentValue == @"South"){
    var = 2;
    NSLog(@"%d", var);
}
else if (segmentValue == @"West"){
    var = 3;
    NSLog(@"%d", var);
}
NSLog(@"%d", var);
return var;

}

When i execute this method it logs the correct values, and returns -1 every time.
The if statements don’t execute even when they should return true.

Try comparing your NSString with isEqualToString. Reference here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSString_Class/Reference/NSString.html
