Code STILL not recognizing incorrect input

Question

I am still having problems with this code. I used if(inputValue == temp); and it's still not working. Any other ideas? Does it work for anyone else?

I wrote a program that prompts user input for a math question. It says "Correct" if the input is correct, but it also says "correct" if the input is not correct. Can't find the error. Any suggestions? Thank you!
