Trouble with the comparison

0 comments

//Black Dot Printing is attempting to organize carpools to save energy. Each input record contains an employee’s name and town of //residence. Ten percent of the company’s employees live in Wonder Lake; 30 percent live in Woodstock. Because these towns are both north //of the company, Black Dot wants to encourage employees who live in either town, to drive to work together.Write a Java program used to //accept an employee’s data and displays it with a message indicating whether the employee is a candidate for the carpool. Save the class //as Carpool.java
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Carpool
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      // Declarations
         String name = “”;
         String town = “”;
           String nameString;// the input for the persons name
            nameString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
                “What is the Employee name?” , “Name Information ” ,
                JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
                name = (input.JOptionPane());

         String townString;// the input for the city
             townString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
                “What is the Home Town? ” , “Address Information ” ,
                 JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
                town = (input.JOptionPane());

         if(town == “Woodstock” || town == “Wonderlake”)// here is where im having the problem, with the comparison
          {
              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, nameString + ” is eligible for the Carpool! “);
          }
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, nameString + ” is not eligible for the Carpool! “);

   }
}
