It should be returning a String; however, I don't think you can directly 
compare string objects using '==' in Java, since technically, the 'name' object 
and the '"C"' object are two distinct things and therefore never equal.  Try 
replacing the comparison with something like:

if (name.equals("C")) ....

This way you use the 'equals' method of the String class, which does the 
comparison properly.
