If statement help (noob) : <p>I was trying to grab the first character from user entry, and determine it to be a vowel or not. I am very new, and have been struggling with this for a while. I am trying to add all vowels to the variable 'vowel', and not only will that obviously not work, but I feel like I am going the long way. Any help at all is vastly appreciated as I am very new to this.</p>

<pre><code>entry = scanner.nextLine();
letters = entry.substring(0,1);
holder = entry.substring(1);
vowels = "A";


if (entry.substring(0,1).equals(vowels)) {
    pigLatinVowel = entry + "way";
    System.out.println(pigLatinVowel);
}
</code></pre>
