Question

What will be the output of the following program snippet? 

s1 = "COMPUTER"
s2 = "computer" 
System.out.println(s1.equals(s2)); 

Options

• True

• False

• 0

• 1

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

The equals() function in Java (and other comparable languages) compares two strings exactly, including case. Because "COMPUTER" (uppercase) and "computer" (lowercase) are not the same when case-sensitive comparison is used, s1.equals(s2) gives False.
