Class | String
Name | ### equals()
Examples |
    String str1 = "CCCP";
    String str2 = "CCCP";
    // Tests to see if 'str1' is equal to 'str2'
    if (str1.equals(str2) == true) {
      println("Equal");  // They are equal, so this line will print
    } else {
      println("Not equal");  // This line will not print
    }
Description | Compares two strings to see if they are the same. This method is necessary because it's not possible to compare strings using the equality operator (==). Returns true if the strings are the same and false if they are not.
Syntax |
    str.equals(str)
Parameters |
str | String: any valid String
