Using a String as an if() conditional

Jrodenba

`println(inString);

if (inString == "BVST") {`

the println function tells me that inString equals BVST, however it will not trigger the if conditional, it doesn't return an error, but it won't trigger the if() statement either.
Does anyone know why?

In Java Strings could not be evaluated with ==

Use equals()
