I am trying to compare two strings.

If the username and password matches what I have stored then great... looks
like this:
if (user.equalsIgnoreCase("Steve") && password.equals("iscool"))

how do I check to see if it "does not equal" what I have stored.

In other words, how do I check to see if a string does not equal another
string. (Yeah, I know an if else statement could do it, but is there a
simpler way - like .notequals)

I want the program to check the username and password until it is entered
correctly. I am using do/while.
This is for a class assignment

Steve
