Question

BlueJ will not return "true" nor "false" when running this code....

import java.util.*;
public class pw
{
public static boolean isPasswordCorrect(char[] input) {
boolean isCorrect = true;
char[] correctPassword = { 'm', 'y', 'p', 'a', 's', 's', 'w' };

if (input.length != correctPassword.length) {
isCorrect = false;
} else {
isCorrect = Arrays.equals (input, correctPassword);
}

//Zero out the password.
Arrays.fill(correctPassword,'0');

return isCorrect;
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner myinput = new Scanner(System.in);
String userinput = myinput.next();
//declare the char array
char[] stringArray;

//convert string into array using toCharArray() method of string class
stringArray = userinput.toCharArray();
System.out.print(isPasswordCorrect(stringArray));



}

}

Explanation / Answer

It executes properly for me in Eclipse and at the command line. Seems like an issue with BlueJ. Try to capitalize the class name, maybe that will fix it. Classes, by convention, should always be capitalized. Also, try a prompt before accepting input. You could also debug it by printing to System.out in other parts of the program to find where your problem is. ex) System.out.print("Enter Password: ");
