Last update on March 17 2025 13:22:50 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Java program to compare a given string to a specified string buffer.

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

// Define a public class named Exercise10.
public class Exercise10 {
    // Define the main method.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Declare and initialize two string variables, str1 and str2.
        String str1 = "example.com", str2 = "Example.com";
        
        // Create a StringBuffer object strbuf initialized with the value of str1.
        StringBuffer strbuf = new StringBuffer(str1);
    
        // Compare str1 and strbuf for content equality and print the result.
        System.out.println("Comparing " + str1 + " and " + strbuf + ": " + str1.contentEquals(strbuf));
    
        // Compare str2 and strbuf for content equality and print the result.
        System.out.println("Comparing " + str2 + " and " + strbuf + ": " + str2.contentEquals(strbuf));
    }
}

Sample Output:

Comparing example.com and example.com: true                                                                   
Comparing Example.com and example.com: false
