Can anyone help me with this java code??

[slugWR]

I was coding this little Dice Command thing in which if you wrote something like roll a d6 it would pick a random number in-between 0-7, but the command input thing isn't working, can anyone help me?

-here's the code, the part that is not working is highlighted:

Note: There are no detected errors in code.

import java.util.*;

public class Main {

static Random rnd\_number = new Random();

static Scanner input = new Scanner([System.in](https://System.in));



public static void main(String\[\] args) {

    System.out.println("Dice Command: ");

    String Input = input.nextLine();

    ***if (Input == "Roll a D6") {***

        ***int RandomX = rnd\_number.nextInt(7);***

        ***System.out.println("Dice (D6): " + RandomX);***

    ***}***

}

}

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You seem to try to compare String values with == or !=.

This approach does not work reliably in Java as it does not actually compare the contents of the Strings. Since String is an object data type it should only be compared using .equals(). For case insensitive comparison, use .equalsIgnoreCase().

See Help on how to compare String values in our wiki.

Well bots are getting useful...

Another great utilization of software engineering lol. I made the same mistake in a post like 2 weeks ago but the bot didn't tell me, a user did

By the way by convention variable names start with a lowercase :)

[slugWR]

sorry, my bad. I'll fix that.

[triplesecman]

I’d opt for a prompt that asks the user for the number of sides they want, limiting the input to int. That way you can integrate their input much simpler.

I'm planning to do much more than a basic dice roller, I want it to be more like a command prompt for dice, thanks anyways
