title: Loop program back to start point after it's finished
body: <p>So I've created this program which manipulates a word that the user gives as input, by taking the moving the first character to the end of the word, spells the rest of the word backwards, then checks if the original word and the new word are the same. It's designed to run until the user enters the word "quit" as the chosen word. I've managed to get the majority of the code working, except, instead of looping back to ask the user for a new word after its checked the previous one, it just continues running forever. The code I've currently got is below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package uploadTask9_wordPlay;
  
  import java.util.Scanner;
  
  public class wordPlay {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          // creates scanner object to get a name from the user input
          Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
  
              System.out.println("Enter a name to be tested, or 'quit' to exit 
  program: ");
              // stores the user input into string testedName
              String testedName = userInput.nextLine();
  
              // if the user input is "quit", program exits
              if (testedName.equals("quit")) {
                  System.out.println("Thanks for using the program");
                  System.exit(0);
              }
  
              // else, do the rest of the code with the given word
              else {
  
                  while (testedName != "quit") {
  
              // takes first character from userInput
              char firstLetter = testedName.charAt(0);
  
              // removes first character from testedName
              StringBuilder removeChar = new StringBuilder(testedName);
              removeChar.deleteCharAt(0);
  
              // adds first character of testedName to the end of removeChar
              String newString = removeChar.toString() + firstLetter;
  
              // prints newString backwards
              String reverseWord = new 
  StringBuffer(newString).reverse().toString();
  
              // if statement - far simpler way to carry this task out than loops
              // if statement to check if the words are the same
              if (testedName.equals(reverseWord)) { 
                  System.out.println(testedName + " is the same as " + reverseWord); }
  
              else {  
                  System.out.println(testedName + " is not the same as " + reverseWord); }
  
          }   
      }       
  }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know why the program doesn't loop back to the start each time its checked a word?</p>
