how to check the users input

Mostly that is done with if statements that compare the user's input against valid values.

Quote

make it loop back

The code inside of the while loop will loop back as long as the variable: badInput is true.
Setting badInput to false will allow the execution to exit the while loop.

so what would be a correct way to say if the choice does not equal. Like normally the if statement would be if(choice.equals("bababa")) but what if I wanted it to not equal that. That way I could make it so if it does not equal that then system...("Input invalid") and end while loop?

way to say if the choice does not equal

Use the ! (NOT) operator: !x.equals(y)

OKAY THANK YOU SO MUCH! So i did some messing around and ending up with this

boolean badInput = true;
        while(badInput) {
        	if(!choice.equals("SCREAM"))
            System.out.println("Not a valid command");
        	choice = scan.nextLine();
        if(choice.equals("SCREAM")){ 

            place("\n== Dark Room ==","The scream does not echo and cannot be heard by anyone. As your eyes adjust you can see a figure lying on the ground under the source of light.");

            System.out.println("Do you CRAWL towards the figure or STUMBLE around the room?");

            choice = scan.nextLine(); 
        }
       } 

which then if I type somthing thats not a choice prints not a valid command.
Now if I want to make more than one choice available so if the choice is SCREAM the user can either type SCREAM, scream, Scream. How would I do that? I tried this if(!choice.equals("SCREAM" || "Scream")) but it does not work.

Actually I got the same result by using multiple if statements however is there any easier ways to do this?

Read the API doc for the String class. It has a method to compare Strings and ignore their case.

Yes, the condition inside the ()s can be several boolean expressions connected by boolean operators:

   if ((a > c) && x.equals(y) && (f != 44) ) {

[NormR]

I see there are missing {}s following some if statements. Make sure ALL of the if statements enclose the code they control inside of {}s

}

So actually the scream choice is working but only after I type somthing before it. However the scream choice does not work if I use a lowercase form of it. The stumble choice just does not work at all.

Ok so here is all of the code in my current project.

import java.util.Scanner;

        System.out.println(place + "\n"+description);

        String choice;

	}

with this code there are an unbelievable amount of bugs that I do not understand how to fix. All of this is still very confusing.

[NormR]

You need to read the API doc for the String class like I suggested in post#20 for a method to use that ignores case.

There are still if statements without {}s. They need to be fixed.

The game logic should NOT be inside of the while loop that is only for getting valid user input.

I know about the ignore cases and ill look into it but where do the {}s need to be I dont understand.

where do the {}s need to be

After all the if statements. Colored in red here:

where do the {}s need to be

After all the if statements. Colored in red here:
if (some condition) {
// ...
}

yes so this is what I have with {}s around all the if statements still nothing is working

import java.util.Scanner;

one of my choices does not work

Please explain.
Copy the full contents of the command prompt console and paste here from when you execute the program. Add some comments saying what it wrong.

Note: The code doesn't follow the logic for getting valid input from the user that I suggested in post#13
