compareTo strings in java 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: Java compare two strings
// compare two strings in java .equals() method
public class EqualOperatorDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String str1 = new String("helloworld");
String str2 = new String("helloworld");
System.out.println(str1 == str2);
System.out.println(str1.equals(str2));
}
