string comparison in java using if 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: string compare java
// These two have the same value
new String("test").equals("test") // --> true
// ... but they are not the same object
new String("test") == "test" // --> false
// ... neither are these
new String("test") == new String("test") // --> false
