如何使我的简单猜谜游戏正常工作？

Question

It's my second day of learning Java and I have created a simple guessing game, where you have to try and guess the 'magic word', however every time I run it, when I type the correct word it always comes up with 'Wrong!'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

package textpac;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class textclass {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String inputText = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is the magic word?");
    String outputText = null;
    if (inputText == "themagicword"){
        outputText = "Well done!";
    } 
    if (inputText != "themagicword"){
        outputText = "Wrong!";
    }
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, outputText);
}
}

When comparing Strings, use the .equals(...) method instead of the == operator:

if (inputText.equals("subscribe")){
    outputText = "Well done!";
} 
if (!(inputText.equals("themagicword"))){
    outputText = "Wrong!";
}

The problem is that == compares if a String variable's reference or object is the exact same as that of another String variable's, and that is not what you want to know. Instead you want to know if the two String objects share the same letters, in the same order, with the same capitalization, and for that, use the .equals(...) method or .equalsIgnoreCase(...) if capitalization isn't important.
