In my Java program the user enters a boat name and agrument . The program checks if the boat name exists in a text file. I am trying to write a conditional that prints different things in the console depending what the argument is ex: power off. The problem seems to be with.... if(args.equals... because it is not priniting the following line but I am not sure why.
