String Comparison in Apex

In Apex, to check if two variables have the same value, you can use string comparison. Apex provides built-in methods for this, and the comparison can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive.

Here is an example of comparing two strings to check if they have the exact same value in apex:

In the above example:

The keyword String is used to declare two string variables, string1 and string2, with the value ‘Hello’.
The equals method checks if two variables have exactly the same values, including case sensitivity.
The string values can also be compared using the == operator but it does not check for case sensitivity.

Note

To compare string in apex without considering the case sensitivity, you can use the equalsIgnoreCase() string method.
