I'm trying to make it so when the user writes Start the program does something, but I'm unsure of how to what the user actually wrote.
This was my first attempt at it:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Suhwag {
public static void main (String args[]){
Scanner scanNer = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Please write \"Start\" to begin.");
String stinky = "Start";
if (stinky == scanNer);
But with this, I got the error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
Incompatible operand types String and Scanner
After I saw the error, I tried to convert scanNer to a string as seen here:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Suhwag {
public static void main (String args[]){
Scanner scanNer = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Please write \"Start\" to begin.");
String stinky = "Start";
String input = scanNer.nextLine();
if (stinky == scanNer);
But the same error message still appears. Anyone know what I could do to make it work?
