equalsIgnoreCase()

Example

Rephrase: “Compare strings while disregarding case differences to determine equality.”

String myStr1 = "Hello";
String myStr2 = "HELLO";
String myStr3 = "Another String";
System.out.println(myStr1.equalsIgnoreCase(myStr2)); // true
System.out.println(myStr1.equalsIgnoreCase(myStr3)); // false

Definition and Usage

The equalsIgnoreCase() method compares two strings, disregarding differences in upper and lower case.

This method returns true if the strings are equal and false if they are not.

Suggestion: Utilize the compareToIgnoreCase() method for lexicographically comparing two strings, while disregarding differences in case.
