  • You want to use `userAnswer.equalsIgnoreCase("yes")` for example, to ignore the casing of the user input. And: learn about java naming conventions. You do NOT use the _ in names (unless SOME_CONSTANT). Use camelCase instead. – GhostCat Apr 12 '22 at 14:25

So first off, I would recommend you use scanner.nextLine() instead, which will everything you type until you hit enter. Additionally, you are trying to compare Strings using the == operator, which you shouldn't do - use user_ans.Equals("Yes") instead. In Java, Strings are stored as objects, so using == compares the reference of the object to the String ("Yes" in this case). Using .equals("Yes"), you make sure the actual content of the String variable is compared instead.
