Java String.equals() versus ==.
The equals() method compares this string to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a String object that represents the same sequence of characters as this object.
Example
public class Sample { public static void main(String []args) { String s1 = "tutorialspoint"; String s2 = "tutorialspoint"; String s3 = new String ("Tutorials Point"); System.out.println(s1.equals(s2)); System.out.println(s2.equals(s3)); } }
Output
true false
You can also compare two strings using == operator. But, it compares references to the given variables, not values.
Example
public class Sample { public static void main(String []args) { String s1 = "tutorialspoint"; String s2 = "tutorialspoint"; String s3 = new String ("Tutorials Point"); System.out.println(s1 == s2); System.out.println(s2 == s3); } }
Output
true false
