title: guessing game, (While loop, if statement ), play again prompt not working
body: <p>So I'm really new to java and I was trying to practice using while and if statements through a guessing game app. </p>
  
  <p>Everything seemed to work until I'm promped to play again. When I type Y, the loop ends. This isn't supposed to happen as the while argument at the beginning of the code says to keepPlaying if true. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried playing with the argument to make it: while (answer == "Y"). I've played around with it but it always keeps exiting. Please help!!</p>
  
  <p>Here's the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner;
  public class GuessingGame 
  {
      static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      public static void main(String[] args) 
      {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          String answer = "Y";
          int guess;
          int number;
          String again;
          boolean keepPlaying = true;
  
  
          System.out.println("Let's play a guessing game!");
           while (keepPlaying)
          {
              System.out.println("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10.");
              System.out.print("What do you think it is? ");
              guess = sc.nextInt();
              while (guess &gt; 10 || guess &lt; 1)
              {
                  System.out.print("I said, between 1 and 10. Try again: ");
                  guess = sc.nextInt();
              }
              number = (int)(Math.random() *10 + 1);
              if (guess == number)
              {
                  System.out.println("You're right!");
  
              }
              else
              {
                  System.out.println("You're wrong! the number was " + number);
  
              }
              System.out.print("Play again? (Y or N)");
              answer = sc.next();
  
              if (answer == "Y")
              {
                  keepPlaying = true;
              }
              else
              {
                  break;
              }
  
          }
          System.out.println("Thank you for playing");
      }
  
  }
