CODE EXAMPLE FOR JAVA

why are my if statements not working with inputs in java

//it does not seem to work for me with using the double equal sign in 
//the if statement (==). Instead, try this. 

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("This is the user's input prompt: ");
var userInput = input.next();

if(userInput.equals("it is working")) {
	System.out.println("Thank the lord");
}
