Simple java question

Hi, I'm doing a beginner Java course and need help with an assignment.

I need to ask user if he/she is a student, and if so, deduct 10% from the total cost of a pizza.

We're using the Scanner class to obtain user input. I also think that I need a boolean variable. However, I'm having a hard time trying to code this.

This is what I'm coming up with, but the line if (student="y") is wrong.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class student {

public static void main(String[] args){

boolean isStudent = false;

double pizzaCost = 9.99;

double studentDiscountRate = 0.1;

double studentDiscount;

System.out.println("Are you a student? y/n");

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

String student = keyboard.next();

if (student = "y"){

isStudent = true;

studentDiscount = studentDiscountRate * pizzaCost;

}

isStudent = false;

studentDiscount = 0;

}

}

Please help!!
