That is because the Java compiler is very smart. In a general use situation your method will NOT work.
I assume you tested it with something like this:
public class Silly {

public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(imba("zerg", "protoss"));
}

public static String imba(String opponentrace, String userrace)
{
if((opponentrace == "zerg") && (userrace == "protoss"))
return "GG";
else
{
return "1a2a3a";
}
}
}

A really smart compiler could recognise that the comparison doesnt need to actually be made. There is only one possible execution for this program. This program would actually be reduced down just printing the line "GG". If you instead wrote your program in the following way you will see your mistake.

public class Silly {

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner k = new Scanner(System.in);
String x = k.nextLine();
System.out.println(imba(x, "protoss"));
}

public static String imba(String opponentrace, String userrace)
{
if((opponentrace == "zerg") && (userrace == "protoss"))
return "GG";
else
{
return "1a2a3a";
}
}
}

This second program takes in a string from the user and tries to match it to the string "zerg". Since you are comparing objects instead of the contents of those objects you will not get the intended behaviour.

edit: fixed spelling

}

}


To Misrah, Zerg is by far the easiest race to play endgame. It's impossible to not macro perfectly.

meh i guess that may be true, but try out zerg mid game.... it's crazy multi task!

Also meeple i have to agree. You are a freaking post whore. You post to the excessive amount..... i think you only got 1k a bit ago.... but now your almost at what.... over 2 k wtf.... I got 1k before you did, and now you are 1k posts ahead of me lol Actually your symbol should be a mutalisk. But because you haven't been here long enough, it will stay a lurker. LURKER!!!! get it? i hope that i am subtle enough?

I think this blog is the right aproach of improving your pvz instead of seeing how other protosses kill zergs and learn from it. Really.
