this code does not work for some reason I have tried many variations

 

3.14 Warm up: Text message abbreviation decoder (Java)

(1) If a user's input string matches a known text message abbreviation, output the unabbreviated form, else output: Unknown. Support two abbreviations: LOL -- laughing out loud, and IDK -- I don't know. (3 pts) 

Sample input/output:

Input an abbreviation: LOL

laughing out loud

 

(2) Expand to also decode these abbreviations. (4 pts)

·        BFF -- best friends forever

·        IMHO -- in my humble opinion

·        TMI -- too much information

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TextMsgAbbreviation {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

     Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

     System.out.println("Input an abbreviation: ");

     String user_input;

     user_input = scnr.nextLine();

     if (user_input.contains("LOL")) {

        System.out.println("laughing out loud");

     }

     else if (user_input.contains("BFF")) {

        System.out.println("best friends forever");

     }

     else if (user_input.contains("IMHO")) {

        System.out.println("in my humble opinion");

     }

     else if (user_input.contains("TMI")) {

        System.out.println("too much information");

     }

     else if (user_input.contains("IDK")) {

        System.out.println("I don't know");

     }

     else {

        System.out.println("Unknown");

     }

     return;

  }
