java - I am trying to compare strings, but it is not recognizing -

so trying check strings using if statement,i created test computer gives predetermined responses depending on input, inputs working happen hi or hello, strings spaces not seem work, why that?

import java.util.scanner; public class computabot {   public static void main(string[] args) {     scanner scan = new scanner(system.in);     string text;     string computer = "computabot:";     string[] input = {             "how you?", "hi", "hello", "what name",             "do chicken?", "where from?",             "do cheese?"     };      do{         system.out.println("type talk!:");         text = scan.next();      if (text.equals(input[1]) || text.equals(input[2])) {         system.out.println(computer + " " +"hello!");      }else if (text.equalsignorecase(input[0])) {         system.out.println(computer + " " +"i'm fine, you?!");     }else if (text.equals(input[3])) {         system.out.println(computer + " " +"jimmy");     }else if (text.equals(input[4])) {         system.out.println(computer + " " +"yes! love it");     }else if (text.equals(input[5])){         system.out.println(computer + " " +"germany");     }else if (text.equals(input[6])){         system.out.println(computer + " " +"only on pizza");     }else          system.out.println("bye");     }while(!text.equals("bye"));      scan.close(); }  } 

the method next() reads 1 word. should use nextline() reads whole line (delimited new-line character entered when press enter):

text = scan.nextline(); 

from javadocs:

public string next(): finds , returns next complete token scanner. complete token preceded , followed input matches delimiter pattern.
