String’s equalsIgnoreCase method is similar to equals method but it ignores case. So if Strings have different cases, then also it will considered as equals.
For example:
1
2
3
4
Stringstr1="Java2blog.com"
Stringstr2="JAVA2BLOG.COM"
str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str2) will return true.
Method Signature:
1
2
3
publicbooleanequalsIgnoreCase(ObjectanObject)
String equalsIgnoreCase Example:
1
2
3

packageorg.arpit.java2blog;
publicclassStringEqualsExamplesMain{
publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args){
Stringstr1="Hello world from java2blog.com";
Stringstr2=newString("Hello world from java2blog.com");
Stringstr3="Hello world from JAVA2BLOG.COM";
if(str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str2)){
System.out.println("1st and 2nd Strings are equal");
}
else{
System.out.println("1st and 2nd Strings are not equal");
}
if(str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str3)){
System.out.println("1st and 3rd Strings are equal");
}
else{
System.out.println("1st and 3rd Strings are not equal");
}
}
}
When you run above program, you will get below output:
1
2
3
4
1stand2ndStrings are equal
1stand3rdStrings are equal
