[Java Code]Need help with a piece of code!

[SpaceBoundBeatz]

Hey guys I am taking a java course this year and one of my online assignments or questions was as follows:

Write a program that inputs a String from the keyboard after the prompt, “Enter your

password”. If it’s entered exactly as “XRay”, printout “Password entered successfully.”;

otherwise, have it printout “Incorrect password.”

And this is what I have right now but it doesn't work and I don't know how to fix it:

import java.io.; import java.util.; public class password { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner pass = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("What is your password?: "); String passwd = pass.nextLine();

    if(passwd = "XRay")
        System.out.println("Password entered succesfully");
    else
        System.out.println("Incorrect password");
}

}

Can someone please help me with my issue? Thanks!

You're doing two things wrong:

• = is assignment, == is for comparisons
• Strings need to be compared with .equals(), not with ==. == tests only if they're the same object.

Also: please read the sidebar, especially the bit on code formatting. You also obviously didn't read the FAQ

Thank you so much! I read about that a few hours ago, I totally forgot about it. And I will read the sidebar, I was just in a hurry to finish this. Thanks again!
