here's the code:

string reply;
reply = getLineFromUser(); //assume this function works correctly
if(reply == "JAVA"){
System.out.println("OK to continue");
}
else {
System.out.println("Error - try again!");
}

i cant seem to see where i'm going wrong, thus cant get a correct version to work. I need it to keep repeating asking for a passwrod until its correct. Password equals JAVA.
Hope some1 can help, cheers.

if(reply == "JAVA"){
make this code as :

if(reply.equals("JAVA");

now it'll work properly. Strings are not compared by ==.
