Java String equalsIgnoreCase() method example.

The equalsIgnoreCase() method of the String class compares this String to another String, ignoring case considerations. Two strings are considered equal ignoring case if they are of the same length and corresponding characters in the two strings are the equal ignoring case.

Example

Live Demo

import java.lang.*;
public class StringDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String str1 = "sachin tendulkar";
      String str2 = "amrood admin";
      String str3 = "AMROOD ADMIN";

      //Checking for equality with case ignored
      boolean retval1 = str2.equalsIgnoreCase(str1);
      boolean retval2 = str2.equalsIgnoreCase(str3);

      //Prints the return value
      System.out.println("str2 is equal to str1 = " + retval1);
      System.out.println("str2 is equal to str3 = " + retval2);
   }
}

Output

str2 is equal to str1 = false
str2 is equal to str3 = true
