password if condition

[JXDOS]

hi all.
I am new to java and i want to make a message text box asking for the pass word. if the password is correct then messagebox title and text = welcome else = access denied

this is what i have put together myself but it doesn't work..

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Password
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		String name =
			JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Password?");
		if:
	{ 
		raw_input = "hello";		
				String message =
			String.format("Welcome");
		
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Welcome");
	}
		else:
	{
		String message =
			String.format("Access Denied");

		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Access Denied")
		
	}

	}
}

Perhaps you should find out how if and else really work. I recommend a tutorial or beginner's book.

Just like CornedBee said, you won't learn much by only asking questions. Learning from a book is the best way
