Simple but i cant figure it out or just plain dont know why.... In college but havent had to look at java in a while. public double blance(String nm){ for(int j = 0; j < nameID.length; j++){ if(nm == name[j]) return bal[j]; } return defaultBal; } Now... Why does the default value (defaultBal) get returned? I have narrowed…

name[j] is a String? In that case you need to compare nm.equals(name[j]), otherwise you are checking to see is it the same Object, not an equivilant String.
