equals() - String Comparison

Home > Java > General

Q

What would you use to compare two String variables - the operator == or the method equals()?

✍: FYIcenter

A

You can use operator == and method equals() for different types of comparisons:

Using operator == to compare two string variables to see if they point the same String object.
Using equals() to compare two string variables to see if they contain the same String values.

Multi-Threading
How does multi-threading take place on a computer with a single CPU? The operating system's task scheduler allocates execution time to multiple tasks. By quickly switching between executing tasks, it creates the impression that tasks execute sequentially. 2007-03-03, 8838👍, 0💬

Locking Objects for Exclusive Use
Can Java object be locked down for exclusive use by a given thread? Yes. You can lock an object by putting it in a "synchronized" block. The locked object is inaccessible to any thread other than the one that explicitly claimed it. 2007-03-03, 7760👍, 0💬

Waiting State in a Thread
What are three ways in which a thread can enter the waiting state? A thread can enter the waiting state by invoking its sleep() method, by blocking on IO, by unsuccessfully attempting to acquire an object's lock, or by invoking an object's wait() method. It can also enter the waiting state by invoki... 2007-03-03, 6621👍, 0💬

Synchronized Methods and Synchronized Statements
What are synchronized methods and synchronized statements? Synchronized methods are methods that are used to control access to a method or an object. A thread only executes a synchronized method after it has acquired the lock for the method's object or class. Synchronized statements are similar to s... 2007-03-03, 6044👍, 0💬
