From the error I would venture to guess that you are looking for the Boolean comparison operator '==' rather than the assignment operator '=' at the following line of code. But forewarning my Java syntax is pretty rusty and I could judge it better with the whole class definition that line of code is in.

if (discountCode.indexOf(dollarSign) == -1)
