The String class contains a method called equals, which allows us to compare two strings to see if they contain the same sequence of characters. Why is it better to use this method instead of simply using the operator "=="?
Added by Rafael B.
Step 1
The operator "==" compares the memory addresses of two objects, not their actual values. This means that even if two strings have the same sequence of characters, they may not be considered equal by the "==" operator if they are stored in different memory Show more…

What does the following method do? void blur(char[] z, String st) { if (z.length < st.length()) return; for (int j = 0; j < st.length(); j++) { z[j] = st.charAt(j); } } 1) It determines if the array contains the same characters as the string. 2) It copies characters from the array to the string. 3) It creates a new array that contains the same characters as the string. 4) If there are enough slots in the array, it copies characters one by one from the string to the array.

Why is it useful to compare $Q$ with $K$ ? What is the situation when (a) $Q=K$ ? (b) $Q<K$ ?(c) $Q>K ?$
Add three methods to the Student class that compare two Student objects. One method (__eq__) should test for equality. A second method (__lt__) should test for less than. The third method (__ge__) should test for greater than or equal to. In each case, the method returns the result of the comparison of the two students' names. Include a main function that tests all of the comparison operators. Note: The program should output in the following format: False: False True: True True: True False: False True: True True: True True: True True: True True: True True: True
