Java

Question

What am I doing wrong here?

String title1 = new String(“cse220”);
String title2 = “cse220”;

if (title1 == title2)
{
System.out.print(“String using comparison “==“ sign works”);
}
else
{
System.out.print(“String comparison using “==“ does NOT work”);
}
if (title1.equals(title2))
{
System.out.print(“String comparison using “equals” method works”);
}
else
{
System.out.print(“String comparison using “equals” method does NOT work”);
}

To add double quotes to your string, you can use escape sequence (\").
Otherwise it will cause error.Like you have given ("String comparison using "==" does NOT work");
Here the text inside double quotes are treated as string.The two strings will be,
1."String comparison using"
2."does NOT work"
But == is not in any string it will cause error.

Here is the modified code

String title1 = new String("cse220");
String title2 = "cse220";

if (title1 == title2)
{
System.out.print("String using comparison \"==\" sign works");
}
else
{
System.out.print("String comparison using \"==\" does NOT work");
}
if (title1.equals(title2))
{
System.out.print("String comparison using equals method works");
}
else
{
System.out.print("String comparison using equals method does NOT work");
}

Thnx
