How to compare strings in Java

fawkers · June 18, 2010

Just to add my 2c in; I would HIGHLY recomend the book: Objects first with Java by David J. Barnes and Michael Kolling clciky

A very good book coving the java language from an object standpoint as apposed to a procedual progomatical approach. (does that make sence?).

Anyway again HIGHLY recomened as an introduction to programming in Java.

Any decent books on C++ as apposed to java as I would much prefer to start with C++ on windows and my aim is to go towards objective C on the mac side

The comparison operator would compare the unique objects and just wouldn't be the desired output.

You see - that's where us old timers would start a fight.

If an object looks like a pig, smells like a pig and grunts - its a pig!

I don't care if its called gertrude or maisy - its still a pig

But thanks for rationalising - I did notice when delclaring strings that there wern't highlighted in bold like the other data types but hadn't thought it through.

I try to use obejcts (if someone else has coded them up - then they are great! but I usually just end up perverting a language and reverting to procedural thinking as much as possible for my own stuff and just misuse classes as procedures

I'm just too old to change

(runs away into a corner before the OOP mob come looking for me)
