Question

I am facing a very basic problem. Some time small things can take your whole day 🙁
but thank to stackoverflow memebers who always try to help 🙂

I am trying to match 2 strings if they match it should return TRUE

now I am using this

if (var1.indexOf(var2) >= 0) {
return true;
}

But if var1 has value “maintain” and var2 has value “inta” or “ain” etc. it still return true :(.
Is there any way in java that can do full text matching not partial?
For example

if("mango"=="mango"){
return true;
}

thanks ! ! !

Why not just use the built-in String equals() method?

return var1.equals(var2);
