MasterMind Game-Java

So I started working on a project involving the game MasterMind. I am now completely lost and have no idea what to do next to complete the game. I do not want in run as an applet, just in the console area. BTW this is run on eclipse. I am also having a problem with my if statement. It tells me that the operands are incompatible. The error code is: Incompatible operand types Scanner and Int[].

package masterMind;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MasterMind {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("This is MasterMind, a logic game");
        System.out.println("To win you must guess correctly where each number is(The Numbers Range from 1-4)");
        System.out.println("You will be told if you get one correct");
        System.out.println("You will only get 10 tries, then you lose");
        System.out.println("Lets begin");


        //Declare Array
        int [] answerArray;

        answerArray= new int [4];
        //Initialize Array
        //Change these value to change the answers needed to win
        answerArray[0]=2;
        answerArray[1]=3;
        answerArray[2]=2;
        answerArray[3]=2;
        //Create Board
        System.out.println("__ __ __ __");

        Scanner userGuess = new Scanner(System.in);
        int num = userGuess.nextInt();

        boolean guessedAll = false;
         int guessedCount=0;
         int tryCounter=0;
         while(tryCounter<9 || !guessedAll){
        if (userGuess==answerArray) {

        } else {

        }
        //if number equals one of the numbers above then guessedCount++ ...
        //if guessedCount==4 then guessedAll=true 
         tryCounter++;
        }
    }
}

in order to understand how your input looks after every turn, try to implement a loop...

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner userGuess = new Scanner(System.in);
    boolean gameRunning = true;
    while (gameRunning) {
        // getting a line from the input
        System.out.println("\ninput a line");
        String inputLine = userGuess.nextLine();
        System.out.println("the line is: " + inputLine);

        // getting an integer
        System.out.println("\ninput an integer");
        int inputInt = userGuess.nextInt(); // this will give you an int from the input
        userGuess.nextLine();
        System.out.println("the integer is: " + inputInt);
    }
}

inside your if statement, you would need 4 if statements, each checking that the number at that spot is guessed correctly. If they are, then display that number, else let them guess again (suggesting a while loop to check if they guessed enough times, or they got it all right.
