equals vs Arrays.equals in Java (9 answers)

Closed 4 years ago.

System.out.println("test".getBytes() == "test".getBytes() ? "same" : "diff");
System.out.println("test".getBytes().equals("test".getBytes()) ? "same" : "diff");

In both of those lines diff is output. They're the same thing so shouldn't it be same that is output?

Use java.util.Arrays.equals("test".getBytes(), "test".getBytes()) — ernest_k

Try this.

System.out.println(Arrays.compare("test".getBytes(), "test".getBytes()) == 0 ? "same" : "diff");
