I've been doing this for a week, I always tend to search for some alternative solution, but still it doesn't fit to my program, whenever I answer this question:

System.out.print("\nChoose your Payment term(Partial/Full): ");
		String term = st.nextLine();

it always execute to the end.

I don't know what is wrong about my If condition because I already declare partial as "partial" so I assume that it will take partial and execute the statement. Just need some advice so I can finish the program until to the end at full payment. Any suggestion is deeply appreciated.

wow, no need to answer this, i had already solve my own problem, Boolean is the key. haha. thanks by the way dream in code. hope this helps other programmer

if(term == partial) //doesnt work you need to use .equals() to compare two strings.

if(term.equals(partial))

oh, I'm really a trash, its either way I make boolean, any thing I type, it always accept true, and still, I'm hopeless. Like what I have said before, any suggestions are deeply appreciated.
