Multi-word scanner input in java?

Question

So I'm trying to use if-else statement dependant upon the user's input. It works when the user's input is only one word, however, multiple word inputs go unrecognized and triggers the else statement. How can i resolve this?

import java.util.Scanner;


public class MyFirstJavaClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    @SuppressWarnings("resource")
    Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    String answer;
    System.out.println("Catch the tiger or run away?");
    answer = myScanner.next();


         if (answer.equals("Catch the tiger"  )) {
            System.out.println("You've been mauled by a tiger! What were you thinking?");
            answer = myScanner.next();          

    } else {
        System.out.println("run away");
    }
  }
}

Solution

Replace:

answer = myScanner.next();

With:

answer = myScanner.nextLine();

next will only read in the next value until it reaches a space or newline. You want to read in the full line before making the comparison
