    Hi, i'm new to java and have been trying to find an answer to a problem.
    I'm trying to do a check that a string variable is 16 characters long. I havent been having any luck with it so far. Would anyone have any pointers to help me?

    Use the .length() method to determine the length of the string.

    Exactly. Set an int to the strings' .length() and if int == 16 then do whatever you wanted the program to do

    If your stuck, post some code and we'll take a look for you :)
