how to get a JTextField to check if the text is equal to an int

Question

I'm making a program where you type in a number and it will either tell you if you got it right or wrong. This is the code.

static int num = 1;

JPanel pnl = new JPanel();
        JTextField numSlot = new JTextField(5);
        pnl.add(new JLabel("Enter the number:"));
        pnl.add(numSlot);

        int k = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, pnl, "Enter your code", -1);
        if (k == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {

            if(numSlot.getText().equals(num)) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "It Worked", "It Worked", -1);
            } else {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Sorry", "Sorry", -1);
            }
        }
        if (k == JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION) {

        } else {

        }

With this code it always outputs sorry even if i type 1 so is there something i'm doing wrong? If so could you answer it and try not to be rude i am a beginner.

Answer 1

use

if(numSlot.getText().equals(num+"")){

instead of

if(numSlot.getText().equals(num)) {

as num+"" convert it int to String. Otherway you can use Integer.toString(num) or String.valueOf(num)

Explanation

numSlot.getText() return String and num is int so numSlot.getText().equals(num) always false as String value can not be same as integer value.
