Check two numbers for equality in Java

To check two numbers for equality in Java, we can use the Equals() method as well as the == operator.

Firstly, let us set Integers.

Integer val1 = new Integer(5); Integer val2 = new Integer(5);

Now, to check whether they are equal or not, let us use the == operator.

(val1 == val2)

Let us now see the complete example.

Example

 Live Demo

public class Demo {    public static void main( String args[] ) {       Integer val1 = new Integer(5);       Integer val2 = new Integer(5);       Integer val3 = new Integer(10);       System.out.println("Integer 1 = "+val1);       System.out.println("Integer 2 = "+val2);       System.out.println("Integer 3 = "+val3);       System.out.println("val1 is equal to val2 = "+(val1 == val2));       System.out.println("val2 is not equal to val3 = "+(val2 != val3));    } }

Output

Integer 1 = 5 Integer 2 = 5 Integer 3 = 10 val1 is equal to val2 = false val2 is not equal to val3 = true
