compare strings code example
Example 1: java how to compare strings
System.out.println("hey".equals("hey")); //prints true
/*
always use .equals() instead of ==,
because == does the compare the string content but
loosely where the string is stored in.
*/
Example 2: Java compare two strings
// compare two strings in java using String.equals() method in java
public class EqualsMethodDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String str1 = new String("HelloWorld");
String str2 = new String("Flower");
String str3 = new String("Hello");
String str4 = new String("Hello");
String str5 = new String("hello");
// compare str1 != str2
System.out.println("Compare " + str1 + " and " + str2 + ": " + str1.equals(str2));
// compare str3 = str4
System.out.println("Compare " + str3 + " and " + str4 + ": " + str3.equals(str4));
// compare str4 != str5
System.out.println("Compare " + str4 + " and " + str5 + ": " + str4.equals(str5));
// compare str1 != str4
System.out.println("Compare " + str1 + " and " + str4 + ": " + str1.equals(str4));
}
}
Example 3: how to check to string are qual r not
String str1 = "rohith";
String str2 = "nikhil";
//compares if str1(rohith) is equal to str2(nikhil)
System.out.println(str1.equals(str2));
//prints false as str1!=str2
Example 4: how to compare strings java
if (aName.equals(anotherName))
{
System.out.println(aName + " equals " + anotherName);
}
else
{
System.out.println(aName + " does not equal " +anotherName );
}
Example 5: compare two strings java
String string1 = "using equals method";String string2 = "using equals method"; String string3 = "using EQUALS method";String string4 = new String("using equals method"); assertThat(string1.equals(string2)).isTrue();assertThat(string1.equals(string4)).isTrue(); assertThat(string1.equals(null)).isFalse();assertThat(string1.equals(string3)).isFalse();
