Question

This is my if statement…
The buttons show up like this:

This is my if statement

        if((buttons[3].getName()=="x" && buttons[6].getName()=="x" &&
        buttons[9].getText()=="x")||(buttons[2].getName()=="x" &&
        buttons[5].getName()=="x" && buttons[8].getName()=="x")||
        ((buttons[1].getName()=="x") && (buttons[4].getName()=="x") &&
        (buttons[7].getName()=="x"))){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"X Wins");
        }

So if I select the 1st, 4th and 7th buttons (the left most 3 buttons) why does it not say “X Wins”?
As a sidenote, yes the buttons should have the name “x”

Answer 1

Comparison between strings use equals().

button[1].getName().equals("x");

Also, you make sure that the 3 of the left are 1, 4 and 7 and not 0, 3 and 6, right?
