String is a big exception to that. I know objects need to be compared using .equals(), but strings can always be compared directly. Please name an example where it can't!

Super!

Now, when I try to build this code in my project, I get all these errors:

Also I see this in my window (I use Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate): See picture.

First point: you don't have Java at home? Then it makes no sense trying to learn programming. You got to compile, watch the errors flow, recompile, and improve. That's where you learn.

My tips: download Java and Eclipse (the program you write java in), and 90% of the errors currently in your program will be gone. Eclipse helps you correct your mistakes by giving you autocomplete. Works great.

Bump!
