Another Java Problem

I only registered to reply to you, all these "answers" who are just talking nonsense, while not pointing out the error... shame on you.

Try Arrays.equals(arr1, arr2) instead of arr1.equals(arr2)

Next time you can use a debugger to step through your code to find the fault on your own.

 

Thank you for giving an answer. I can't seem to do the arr1.equal(arr2) correctly.

 

i was gonna say we dont need to see those but he might have messed that part up lol, never know

 

Everything else is correct. It's only this part of the code that gets a wrong output.

 

Since i cant link directly stack overflow com questions 8777257 equals-vs-arrays-equals-in-java

 

So has the problem been solved? If not, I'd like to try my hand.

 

Problem solved. No need for more answers.

 

By the way, what about null checks? Or are all elements and arrays guaranteed not null?

 

I've coded in the initial variables already, but the problem's solved. No worries.

 

PHP:

public class test {
    
    public static void main(String args[]){
    PetRecord test1=new PetRecord();
    test1.name="test1";
    test1.age=10;
    PetRecord test2=new PetRecord();
    test2.name="test1";
    test2.age=10;
    PetRecord test3=new PetRecord();
    test3.name="test3";
    test3.age=20;
    
    System.out.println(test1.compare(test2));
    System.out.println(test2.compare(test3));
    }
}

class PetRecord{
    int age=0;
    String name="";
    String getName(){
      return name; 
    };
    int getAge(){
      return age;
    };
    boolean compare(PetRecord other){
        boolean result=false;
        if(this.getName().equals(other.getName()) && this.getAge()==other.getAge())
            result=true;
        return result;
    }
};


it's a bit messy but you get the idea you need to use their functions that you created you cannot use equals on primitives
