if statement problem
The if statements seem to get mixed up for some reason, when I run it the chosen if statement is always wrong? I have the .lengths of the arrays correct so i cant seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong here.

The.... Lenghts?
You know the meaning of the word length, right?

Please replace the
if in line 52,56 and 60 by else if. That should fix it. It is a exclusive-if chained.Still not working correctly ;-;
Post the code directly. I think you did something wrong.

I solved it. Works fine. Try to post what I have
The mistake you made was: You compared the length of the name of the doors and keys. But you need to compare the key-numbers and the door-numbers.
Oh btw, remove that xxx package.
Also it still chooses the wrong statement, the stone key and door provides the stone armor
Oh, I did not know this rule.
My b
What should happen if I choose the plastic-key?
If you choose the plastic key and the plastic door you get the plastic yoyo
Plastic uses Key No 4 and Door No 4. But the plastic Jojo is behind door 3 and key 3.
You need to change the conditions for the plastic Yoyo to key4 and door4
Accordingly Wooden Sword is not behind door2/key2 but door3/key3
Accordingly Stone armor is not behind door1/key1 but door2/key2
Accordingly Infinite bones is not behind door0/key0 but door1/key1
i think i may have gotten something wrong with arrays, i thought pdoor == 2 && pkey == 2 would look at index 1 of String[] key = { "Skeleton key", "Stone key", "Wood key", "plastic key" }; and String[] door = { "Skeleton door", "Stone door", "Wood door", "plastic door" };
No, the array is good.
oh
it worked
thx, really appreciate it
Sucks this random practice problem I came up with took me 3 days tho XD
Next time it will take you only 2 days. Then 1 day.

Is there a way to have the entire program repeat?
Instead of having to just shutdown it down and run again
