    <p>When I run the program and enter a rank &amp; gender it yells at me and tells me it is an invalid gender. I cannot see why if I enter "male" into the console, it does not equal the string "male"? Can please explain to me why this doesn't work and perhaps some suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks! </p> <pre><code>import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Scanner; public class BabyNames { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter male or female: "); String gender1 = input.next(); System.out.print("Enter rank: "); int rank = input.nextInt(); while (!(gender1 == "female" || gender1 == "male")){ System.out.println("Please try again with a valid gender."); System.out.println(""); System.out.println("Enter male or female: "); gender1 = input.next(); } while (rank &lt;= 0 || rank &gt; 1000){ System.out.println("Please try again with a valid rank."); System.out.println(""); System.out.println("Enter rank: "); rank = input.nextInt(); } findRank(gender1, rank); } public static void findRank(String gender2, int rank) throws IOException { File babyNames = new File("/home/skatty14/Downloads/BabyNames.txt"); Scanner input = new Scanner(babyNames); int rankCount = 0; while (input.hasNextLine()){ rankCount++; System.out.println(rankCount); if (gender2 == "male"){ String name = input.next(); System.out.println(name); } if (gender2 == "female"){ String name = input.next(); System.out.println(name); } } } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
