Program executing although answer is NO?

BloodMetal (4)
Hello I`m trying to make a simple program to enter info about TVSeries (doesn`t save anything anywhere, just did it for fun)
So, I have the user confirm at a certain point if the info is correct where he inputs y or n. When the answer is y everything goes according to plan. But when the answer is anything different than that, the program keeps executing as if the answer was y.
Here is my code:

if (::answer[0] = 'y') You have to use the == operator
