title: Java Scanner input with if else statement
body: <p>Hi I'm new to java and trying to make a Quiz to practice. I wanna make a Question where the user has to combine words from to categories to pairs. Like A1 B4 C3 D2. What I did now is using an if else statement to check if the input is the correct answer, but it only works with 1A. For the others I can do 6 inputs, which is not what I want, and even if there's a correct one I don't get a point.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class HelloWorld {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
  
          Scanner walther = new Scanner(System.in);
  
          String cro = "1A";
          String dan = "2C";
          String fin = "4D";
          String dut = "3F";
          String fre = "5B";
          String ger = "6E";
          int x = 0;
  
  
          if (cro.equalsIgnoreCase(walther.nextLine())){
              ++x;
              walther.close();
          }
          else if (dan.equalsIgnoreCase(walther.nextLine())){
              ++x;
              walther.close();
          }
          else if (fin.equalsIgnoreCase(walther.nextLine())){
              ++x;
              walther.close();
          }
          else if (dut.equalsIgnoreCase(walther.nextLine())){
              ++x;
              walther.close();
          }
          else if (fre.equalsIgnoreCase(walther.nextLine())){
              ++x;
              walther.close();
          }
          else if (ger.equalsIgnoreCase(walther.nextLine())){
              ++x;
              walther.close();
          }
          else {
              walther.close();
          }
  
      System.out.println(x + " Point!");
      }
  }
