Why does this not work.

Bad thing about knowing a few languages, you have a tendacy to get them mixed up. Such is this case (I hope).

tmpStr = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to select your \nown terminal velocity?[Y/n]: ");
if (user_ans=="" || user_ans=="Y"|| user_ans=="y"){
			user_ans="Y";
		}else{user_ans="N";};

why does this always produce a "N"

its a yes/no question - basically if a user enters a y regardless of case or a empty (by just hitting enter) it will mean they entered yes, if anthing else, its no. whenever i put a y or a Y in it, it yeilds a N.
whats wrong with this code?

if (user_ans=="" || user_ans=="Y"|| user_ans=="y"){
			user_ans="Y";
		}else{user_ans="N";};

why does this always produce a "N"

Because you don't compare Strings like that in Java - use
[CODE=java] if (user_ans.equal s("") || user_ans.equals ("Y")|| user_ans.equals ("y")){
//...[/CODE] instead.

By the way, I can understand the confusion with knowing a few languages. ^^
