Equality

You can check if two Strings have the same contents by using .equals.

void main() {
String lyricOne = "Green, Green, Dress";
String lyricTwo = "Green, Green, Dress";

boolean areSameLyric = lyricOne.equals(lyricTwo);
boolean isMyName = lyricOne.equals("Bop Bop");

System.out.println(areSameLyric);
System.out.println(isMyName);
}

You write one String on the left, .equals, and then the String you want to check it against inside of parentheses.

To see if strings have different contents, you need to use the not operator (!) on the result of .equals.

void main() {
String bow = "bow";
String wow = "WOW";

boolean areNotSame = !bow.equals(wow);

System.out.println(areNotSame);
}
