Hello, I hope someone can help me out, and not laugh to hard at my stupidity, but, I am trying write a little program playAGame[] := Module[ {car}, ans = Input["Would you like to play a game"]; Print[ans]; If[ans == "yes", Print["you answered yes"], Print["you did not answer yes"] ]; If[5 == 5, Print["You suck"], Print["You Rock"]]; ] The first If statement does not seem to be evaluated. Yet, if I type: "yes"=="yes", I get the answer I am looking for. It seems like the string comparison is acting different in the middle of the If statement. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? -Thanks
