Unity InputField string comparison not working

I'm making a game where the user inputs a code, and if the code is correct, it opens a door. So, I made a InputField where the user inputs his answer and then I take his answer and compare it in this code:

public TextMeshProUGUI input;
public string answer;

public void retrieveText()
    {
        string userInput = input.text;

        //the code is made of letters so I make it all caps to not make it case sensitive
        userInput.ToUpper();

        if (userInput.Equals(answer))
        {
            //do stuff
        }

However, userInput.Equals(answer) always returns false, no matter what I try. I tried removing the ToUpper() function, using userInput == answer, and nothing works. if I use Debug.Log to see what userInput returns, it returns the correct answer. I hope someone can help me. Any help is much appreciated!

Found it! As it turns out, you must use TMP_InputField class and not TextMeshProUGUI to extract your text. Change that and everything works fine.
