Here the project i have to make

Question

First i have to create a GUI that contains the normal buttons with minimize, maximize, and X button.
Well, i'm suppose to create 3 questions, and answer them in textbox. Following that, when i hit enter it is suppose to say if you are correct or not. The problem is that i can't seem to get my strings right to compare. It's either that or there is something wrong with my if- else statement. Basically i want it to show if they are correct or incorrect. Please help:
package anaquiz;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.text.*;
public class AnAQuiz extends JPanel {
private JComboBox choice;
private JLabel label;
private JTextField text;
Button CheckAnswer;
Button TryAgain;
private String string1 = "Wilson";
private String string2 = " ";
private String string3= "Ace";
private String string4 = " " ;
private String string5 = "Yes" ;
private String string6 = " ";
public AnAQuiz() {
choice = new JComboBox();
label = new JLabel();
label.setBackground(Color.blue);
text = new JTextField(42);
CheckAnswer = new Button("Check Answer");
TryAgain = new Button("Would you like to try again?");
if (string1.equals(string2)) {
label.setText("correct");
} else if (string2 != (string1)) {
label.setText("incorrect");
if (string3.equals(string4)) {
label.setText("correct");
} else if (string4 != (string3)) {
label.setText ("incorrect");
if (string5.equals(string6)) {
label.setText("correct");
} else if (string6 != (string5)) {
label.setText("correct");
choice.addItem("Tennis Question #1");
choice.addItem("Tennis Question #2");
choice.addItem("Tennis Question #3");
Listener listen = new Listener();
choice.addActionListener(listen);
add(choice);
add(label);
add(text);
add(CheckAnswer);
add(TryAgain);
private class Listener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
int c = choice.getSelectedIndex();
switch (c) {
case 0:
label.setText("Whats the famous tennis brand that begins with 'W'?");
break;
case 1:
label.setText("What do you call when someone misses a serve?");
break;
case 2:
label.setText("Should you shake hands after a match?");
break;

Answer 1

Hi
I Have posted my small project of mine I think it should suffice you.
I don't use database to store the question or the Answer Instead i have stored everything in a string and retriving it.
Go through it and get some idea
