What is String.equals() in Java?
The EQUALS() function takes in a string as a parameter and returns true if both the source string and parameter are equal; otherwise, it returns false.
Figure 1 shows a visual representation of the EQUALS() function.
Syntax
boolean equals(Object strObj)
string1.equals(string2)
Parameter
The EQUALS() function takes another string (string2) to be compared with string1 as a parameter.
Return value
The EQUALS() function returns true if both the strings are equal; otherwise, it returns false.
Code
class JAVA {public static void main( String args[] ) {String string_1 = "educative";String string_2 = "edpresso";String string_3 = "EDUCATIVE";//same both stringsSystem.out.println("string_1.equals('educative'):");System.out.println(string_1.equals("educative"));//different both stringsSystem.out.println("string_2.equals('educative'):");System.out.println(string_2.equals("educative"));//same string but one is uppercase and other is lowercaseSystem.out.println("string_3.equals('educative'):");System.out.println(string_3.equals("educative"));//string2 is not string objSystem.out.println("string_1.equals(12345):");System.out.println(string_1.equals(12345));}}
